I believe value of current 0.0001 btc is cost about 10 cent usd today. This would be huge if many small transfer are made or business that have small margin.  Sad

Yes, but Bitcoin wasn't designed to be a micropayment system, per se.  That may or may not (more likely not) occur using less common transaction types, such as using a single send-to-many transaction for weekly payroll or a household's monthly bills.

That said, the minimum transaction fee has been repeatedly reduced as the value of a bitcoin has increased.  I expect that the transaction fee will drop back down to around a cent or less with the next client code update.
