Paid content back in fashion

Interesting article from Chris Anderson - of 'Long Tail' fame - pointing out that revenue models other than free still have their place online. It's common sense really and once again reinforces my favourite rant that the internet is just a delivery mechanism like any other. Same logic applies, if the content has true value than those wanting access will pay. If the content has little of no value, or is commodity in form then users won't.

The Economics of Giving It Away - WSJ.com: "The Economics of Giving It Away
In a battered economy, free goods and services online are more attractive than ever. So how can the suppliers make a business model out of nothing?"
