Interessant ist übrigens auch folgender Auszug aus einer PDF-Broschüre, die bis vor Kurzem noch beim Betreiber Astra frei herunterzuladen war:
"One of the approaches
we recommend is to create bundling strategies or
prepay cards to tempt people into more paid-for
entertainment. For example, HD+ in Germany is a
High Definition (HDTV)
platform that offers smaller private broadcasters
the possibility of encrypting their HD signal
and transitioning audiences from a free-to-air
Standard Definition (SD) to a low cost pay–HDTV
model. We use a prepay card to reduce the
worries about commitment."
Den Text findet man mittlerweile in mehreren Foren.
'Aufwandspauschale' my ass!
