Got an email from Straits Times Interactive few weeks back:

We thank you for your interest in the website and would like to inform you about a major change coming to STI in March: After 10 years of giving ST news reports out for free online, STI will begin charging readers to access it.

A subscription will cost S$72 for six months (S$12 a month), or S$120 for a year (S$10 a month). A one-month subscription will cost S$15.

Why are we doing this?

We believe that we have a good and valuable product that users will want to pay for. It's also not a tenable business model to charge for the print edition of the newspaper and not for its online edition.

===================

What a load of ********. A tenable business model? Then how come i dun see Times or Guardian or the NY Times or USA today charging... So if these MAJOR and they are indeed Major newspapers are not charging for the online model, does that are operating an untenable business model? Maybe it's time i change my address link from Straits Times to the New Straits Times instead.
