Trouble is, a "per use" business model doesn't give you a sustaining (or
easily relied upon) income.
Some of the other datalink vendors do indeed have a "per use" business
model.
The problem there is that there is an economic incentive to request the
least weather possible, which is not an idea I really like. If weather is
really out there then I would just as soon set up the box to download the
weather as often as it is available so I can monitor my progress.
It is sort of like the question of whether we would request weather
briefings less often if we had to pay per call to 1-800-WX-BRIEF.
