:: Value-based Billing for Wireless Java Applications  ::   The current model for charging for Java games is a one-off charge for downloading the game, with the billing mechanism often a premium-charge text message. However, such a model is limited. For an application that involves repeated value-added events, then event-based charging becomes a possibility, just like users pay each time they send a text message. JSR190 is a Java Community initiative to develop a suitable API for event-based charging.   A useful introduction to the topic and the JSR can be found in this article on the DevX website, written by Allen Lau, CTO, Tira Wireless. 11:04:37 AM
