Kittu and I thought about a licensing model which will be based on usage. Which means the end user "subscribes" for an application and pays for the "time" he uses it. Only later I found this idea is already patented. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20030084145.html
Getting a patent requires $$$, take a look at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/qs/ope/fee2007february01.htm
Take a look at the below posting, this company (InterDigital Communications) seems to be making most of its profits by lawsuits for patent infringements.
