Murdoch: Web Sites to Charge for Content

[Soultrader 12]

Article here.

 

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think viewers would pay for a content based website?

Interesting... I personally won't be paying for news content, assuming most other sites keep it going for free. Sounds like he wants to get the iphone people to pony up for getting news on their phone and I could see that. Eventually these co's supplying iphone apps/services will need to be compensated. There's only so much you can make charging a buck or two for the app itself (if any $ at all).

 

They can call it an 'iphone tax'.

I can't imagine paying for website access. I think many would be angered by the very idea.

there is always a market for paid information...

 

and a market for free information.

 

what you cannot offer for free, you charge,

 

what you cannot get for free, you pay.

 

 

 

The Google boys are probably rubbing their hands right now...

Murdoch will drive more business their way. LOL

I agree with tams, I personally don't mind paying for information especially if it saves me time.
