Rafe Needleman at CNET (http://www.cnet.com/profile/rafe/) writes a good article on his opinion of paying once for digital newspapers subscription (full story at http://news.cnet.com/8301-19882_3-10417065-250.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20).
I think it’s absolutely right to pay for some kind of informations or VAS (Value Added Services), though it’s absolutely correct to have a “flat subscription” where you pay for the information but you don’t for the media bringing it.
And cannot be penalized those having acces through diferent media.
I think that information providers (but also media providers,…) look at making big money in short time to maximize initiative ROI instead of creating a stable and fidelized subscriber base.
It’s the distortion (and subsequent error) we’ve been through last years and that is triggered by market: it’s better to grow short than consolidate in long time.
