I'd rather have a new model than no Twitter at all. Small businesses may not need the premium services Twitter could offer major corporations willing to pay (maybe it's tracking or other enhanced assets). It's either that or Twitter moves to become a non-profit, funded by grants and donations! The current model just isn't viable.

Why then, I mean almost all the blogs use the service to spread news, which brings in readers, followers, subscribers, etc. It will soon start charging everyone, something that would simply kill Twitter. I guess Eric has a nice idea. But then again, that would set demarcations amongst users, killing the whole idea behind it (and its success). @Gregg, I think the same, Twitter just go about implementing this.

If done properly, this could work and not really change how people use Twitter - but if they begin to push out the regular people and the small businesses then it'll lose it's sense of "realness" and people will stop using the service because it'll just be another online coupon dump.
