micropayments Why do I think that micropayment would quickly become minipayments then payments then gouge...???

It remains to be seen whether news can be charged for. When the NY Times starts charging me I'll switch to Reuters. I used to read Reuters but their site got really bad. Now it's better. The NY Times site has now become worse and they want to charge. I can always switch over to the LA Times or the BBC. It's a can of worms for them.

And of course (OT) it used to be that we believed a well informed public was essential to our security, hence the 3 TV stations had to have news (even if it lost money) to get their license.

Personally I dread a society where information is only available for those with money.
