Public Sticky notes
The problem with charging is that you can only charge in the absence of competition. With something like Time Magazine... there's tons of competition for that sort of information.

I think the point is that you DO need to charge -- but the question is what are you charging for. The point (apparently not clear enough) is that charging for content that isn't limited and is in a competitive market won't work. That's just simple economics.

You do realize that most media subscriptions today barely (if at all) cover printing and delivery? Subscribers DO NOT pay for content today. Why do you think they'll suddenly start doing so in a much more competitive market?
