ReasonsForAFreePennyTransferService
Why should a Service Provider offer a FreeTransferOfPennies
- Zero-cost: A lossless (realtime) Account to Account transfer is nearly for the provider
- Basic Service: It can easily be financed by premium services.
- Saved advertising costs: It saves advertising costs ("it spreads like wildfire") It also would spread like wildfire, when pioneer providers like Paypal close this "loop hole" as MartinPfahler called it in a discussion-stimulating manner, however other providers would offer this as a free basic service, giving the Paypal competition a cutting edge.
- Image PR: It is an excellent sign of goodwill, gaining global sympathy by fighting poverty in the world
- Acquisition Tool: It is an acquisition tool to invite new start-ups, who later migrate to premium services
The probably most attractive target for such a feature are the prognosed 200 million kids, who are too poor to buy their own webconnected notebook, but get one by the OneLaptopPerChild project of the MIT.
