A web 1.0 thought from Hagel

“… communities can charge users content
feesfor downloading an article or a picture from the
service’s library or for obtaining access to material.
Encyclopaedia Britannica offers on-line access to
its content and varies its fees depending on how
much information the user wants.”

HOW DID THAT WORK OUT? 

This was HBR 1996 when there was still hope for charging for content.  Can Murdoch’s newspapers really change this?
