Freemium Biz

"A business model VCs love: Investors are abuzz about 'freemiums' - services that lure users in with a basic product, then charge for more features." So companies like Skype had the "right" thing going for it.

Free and premium services are what they recommend but I don't see why there can't be blurring of the lines. Where a free person can get extra support or extra feature on an on-demand basis rather than once a year/month/lifetime license kind of deal. Or even monthly subscription that can be turned off and on at any time.
