I agree that a subscription-based model should be investigated.
Yes, there are problems - notably the lack of alternatives to PayPal
as a transfer route for small amounts of money. But the value of timely
information uncluttered by pop-up ads and other cruft is clearly worth
a subscription fee.

Not quite. There is a pretty decent alternative to PayPal. It's CitiBank's C2IT (www.c2it.com). It's free for any domesitc US transaction. To me, at least, it's quite a bit less repulsive than PayPal.
