Think you've stood things on their head here Mons. It's Google who are to be charged by the news providers.

People like that fabulous philanthrop Rupert Murdoch are determined that we consumers will pay for their news. They don't see a future for their organisations if we can all read news on-line for free, and they think the Googles of this world are getting a free ride on their content.

It has only taken Rups ten years to work out that the Internet means the end of pushing bits of dead tree through people's letterboxes. But, they are not going to give up without a struggle - however futile that struggle may be.

I hear that our own Johnston Press is starting a three months trial of charging for local news content. Their take is that local news, unlike national or regional news, is special and that people will pay for it. What a good thing for them that some towns don't have their own community websites - sites which publish local news before they can even get ink to dead tree! biggrin.gif
