Washington Post to start charging frequent site users
Found on CNet News on Monday, 18 March 2013
The publication this summer plans to start charging users who access more than 20 articles or multimedia features a month. The Washington Post hasn't yet decided how much it will charge, according to an article on the newspaper's Web site.
The Washington Post has long preferred to keep its online content free in order to attract readers and online advertisers.
It's going to be interesting to see how they plan to identify those frequent users. By IP address? Hello DHCP. By cookie? Just make the browser delete them when it gets closed (hopefully that's already configured).
