RE: Allow users outside organisation to receive subscription email

This has been done now in the June 2020 update to the Service. Worked for me, though it doesn't work for external addresses contained in email groups.

RE: Allow users outside organisation to receive subscription email

This is necessary for our organization. We were recently purchased and share reports with the other Company. They are not able to set themselves up with email subscription.

"This needs to happen as there is no technical need for it to be only available to Premium."

I would argue that this feature is often more necessary to smaller and midsize companies that can't afford Premium licensing. If you want a reason for them to increase their chances of upgrading to Pro license, here is a reason. Otherwise, why not just stick with Free version.

This needs to happen as there is no technical need for it to be only available to Premium.

This is also key for us. If we do not get it, we will have to find another reporting platform.

RE: Allow users outside organisation to receive subscription email

This needs to happen soon. Without this feature, we are unable to demonstrate the key capability of power bi to our customers.

RE: Allow users outside organisation to receive subscription email

This would be valuable as our primary use of the product is to share information with a client.

RE: Allow users outside organisation to receive subscription email

This really needs to happen. We have so many use cases where our customers just want to get an email report of their metrics, they have no idea what Power BI is nor do they want to deal with licensing just to have a once a month email.

A workaround is to have the e-mail sent to yourself and create a forwarding "Rule" in Outlook or Gmail.
