Tony the number one rated site by the majority of review sites is Videobox that was one of the first to try the $9.95 price point for it's basic service with an available udgrade/upsell. Based on how well this business model works I am surprised more have not given this price point a try.

Articles are being written weekly and threads posted daily about this but you must realize that GREED and the lure of easy money is probably the most powerful influence of any in this particular industry.

Until this industry creates some type of watchdog association or governing body, which will NOT happen, to monitor questionable business practices then I am afraid very little will change in terms of how business is currently being conducted. It seems that GREED over ETHICS is the current mantra of this industry and that is a very unstable state to be in.
