WSJ, others to sell byte-sized content

The Wall Street Journal's Interactive Edition will be accessible via a
"day pass" on the Web for $1.95 as part of its adoption of
micropayment technology developed by Seattle-based Qpass.
Subscriptions on an annual basis still will be offered as usual. Qpass
said three other publishers will also use its newly-developed system to
deliver research reports and data on a per-item or time-sensitive basis.
They are mutual fund research publisher Morningstar Inc., Internet trade
magazine The Industry Standard and the U.S. Department of
Commerce. "We've always been interested in broadening our reach to
include readers who may only want to use the Interactive Journal for a
day or a week at a time," said Tom Baker, vice president and general
manager. "With Qpass' outsourced service, we can concentrate on
providing content and let Qpass concentrate on running the
infrastructure." Qpass said the sites will use its shared transaction
network. "This is just the beginning," said D. Chase Franklin, Qpass's
president. "Our vision is to make it easy for all producers of digital
content to deliver their innovation and creativity to everyone on the
Internet."
