    Works like radio or TV.  You get the service but agree to the 
    commercials.  Not a bad business model if the content is free 
    to the distributor and even acceptable if the license is low.  
    How many people wait for the weather report in the morning 
    rather than look out the window?
    
    Yes. Hail Mary patents.  If the cost of getting the patent 
    isn't too high, it's worth the attempt.  It is one way to 
    slow down imitators and aggregators who can gang feeds and 
    reduce costs; like other broadcast models, rates can 
    vary to sponsors depending on the rating of the service. 
    So the best deal is to get exclusive rights from the 
    content originators somewhat like the legal information
    service providers.

    'Patent Pending' on every single webpage? I also see mention of
    licensing and 'proprietary messaging' in many places. 
    
    The last time I checked there wasn't a provider out there that would do
    SMS for free. What am I missing? Just an observation...
