Talk:Subscription business model

This article is very misleading... I don't think "subscription"

• necessarily* means "constant revenue stream" at all! What

about when G.F. Handel advertised the publication of oratorios "by subscription" ? completely different!

What are the consequences for not paying for your subscription?

It would be nice if someone could add "subscription" in the sense of investors subscribing to participate in a securities round. In general, there is a business-to-business sense of the word whereby a subscription is a sort of qualified commitment by people to enter into a transaction or arrangement, contingent on its going off as planned. The promoter signs subscribers up one by one, then when they have enough people to make it happen they call in the subscriptions.

Subscription

I was looking for an article talking about unsubscribing from email lists on web sites. This seems to be the best general article, I can't find a specific article for that.

Anyway I'm stripping out the advertisement first. Subsription is now a standard feature of every website, any coder can implement it open source. Mathiastck 09:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I am looking for the the two business models subscription and maintenance. What is common, but what is also the differences? Unfortunately, I could not found an article about maintenance. Would be glad if someone could help with that. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.169.127.113 (talk) 08:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Doubtful information

I find it very doubtful that the first magazine in the UK that used subscription was from the 1960's. You will find numerous subscriptionlists in magazines from all of Europe (including the UK) in the 1600s and 1700s. Also, the method was pioneered within bookpublishing not the magazine businees, with the first known example being with the publication of John Minsheus Ductor in linguas in 1609. --Saddhiyama (talk) 11:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Seriously flawed article

This article lacks any understanding of subscription as a general underwriting of the costs of an undertaking, particularly as the entry for plain vanilla 'subscription' redirect here. "Subscription business model" is a subset of what subscriptions can be.

I'll be back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meika (talk • contribs) 11:07, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
