Monthly fee for .Mac?

I love .Mac, but a $100 fee to renew would hurt me right now. I would also like to be able to afford Panther soon. Why doesn't Apple offer a monthly fee option? They have .mac members credit card info and they automatically renew their account every year. i don't see why they can't automatically renew people on a monthly basis. $8.33 per month is a lot easier on the wallet.

Monthly payments are generally more expensive to service than a single lump sum.

You'd probably end up paying $12.95 to $14.95 a month.

Well I contacted Apple using the .mac billing email form asking the question regarding monthly fees. If they respond, I will paste it on here.
