Micro billing is over-rated IMHO.

Most of the hype about paysites needing micro billing systems to monetize their global traffic has been spread by, yep you guessed it, micro billing providers.

Almost everyone beleived [at one point] that China and the Asia Pacific nations were unreachable with credit card billing and that has never been the case, in fact, China and Japan make up the majority of credit card usage per capita in the world, at least according to stats i saw a year or two back.

That being said, there is definately a place for micro billing, just as there is definately a place for localization of adult sites however, if you are getting sales and signups globally, the potential to be accused by affiliates of shaving outweighs the benefits of adding micro billing options to your signup pages.
