Real Adds New Fee To Monthly Subscriptions
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "NEWS" @ 07:00 AM
"RealNetworks is attempting to encourage its premium users to sign up for a yearly plan by adding a "handling fee" to its SuperPass and Internet radio services when paid on a monthly basis. The new fee will be extended to all Real offerings by the end of the year, according to the company. The fee of 79 cents will be waived if the user selects to pay yearly. The company also says other discounts will be offered to its annual subscribers as well."
Hmph. RealNetworks can't really seem to get anything right: their software isn't great, their selling practices are questionable, and now they want their own customers to switch to a yearly subscription. That's kind of them. :roll: Does anyone here subscribe to RealNetwork's services? What do you think about this?
