According to newmediaage:
Times Online is to introduce pay walls as early as Q1 2010, despite Rupert Murdoch’s admission last week that his plans are likely to be delayed.
The pay wall issue pervades the talk of Media companies across the globe, but here in Australia I doubt it’s success. News needs to be immediate, personalised, mobile, and enriched with good opinion for it to be valuable enough to charge for it; but even then the ABC will still be giving it away for free.
