Singapore's StarHub rolled out its i-mode mobile internet services on 18 November 2005. It is a platform that allow internet website to monetize their traffic by charging it reader via telco in Japan.
Singapore's StarHub offering more than 100 website to its subscriber. Among the content providers are Far East Flora, Golden Village, Singapore Press Holdings.
I was curious whether blogger able to charge it Singapore's reader via StarHub. A reader of my blog keropokman, a Malaysian working in Singapore stated that he had to pay S$2 when he wants to subscribe to a website, and blogger might get S$3per subscriber per month other than the S$2 one off subscription fee.
Theoretically, blogger should be able to charge it reader via i-mode according to reply by Keropokman. However, I unable to find a Content Provider Sign-up page on StarHub home page.
The question is:
Can a Singapore blogger able to charge it reader via i-mode? If such reader choose to read the blog via mobile phone.
Can an overseas blogger able to charge Singapore reader via i-mode?
If every subscriber choose S$20 monthly fixed rate subscription. How StarHub divide the fee among all the content provider?
