    Key quote: "We have a strong position that makes it relatively straightforward for us to have a subscription model, and I don’t see any reason why that can’t be replicated in other categories like consumer categories, for example.

  • [Publishers may be examining how to charge for online news, but the free ride is far from over](http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/may/11/paying-online-news-content)
