Eggsackly....
Merchant acceptance, in the form of the webmaster, is actually the easier part of this equation as long as you dont make it a pain in the ass to signup. It gets easier every day, as I think the majority of us would try putting a button for just about anything on our join page so long as it didn't preclude using one of the existing forms of payment.
The users on the other hand are a lot tougher to crack. You've gotta some give them incentive to want to buy in and gain their trust. At the same time, the buy in process has to be both painless but also secure against scam. That's a *tough* formula.

Hellpuppy, I was thinking the same line as you with both of your posts above ...
Many adult merchants may not be prepared to sell a subscription for $9.95 or $4.95 or whatever but I am ;-) At the end of the day, we are all throwing shit at the wall and seeing which chunks stick in the processing world at the moment and this company *seems* to make the process a lot easier than the setup for anything else we've tried lately ...
IF its easy as they claim it is, there may be a lot of clientelle with the attitude 'may as well give it a go' ...
The deciding factor for whether this company succeeds or not seems to be whether they can take advantage of the dormant funds on a big enough market share of phone card companies ... ie those companies who already have cards in consumers hands
lots of good info on this page, thanks all!
