@quinn @mmasnick hundreds of millions pay for cell phones every month, tens of millions pay for cable -- they must be able to afford it. They won't pay for what they can get free, but telling me people can't pay $10-$20 a month for access to a vast array of Internet sites is at odds with reality. Whether they choose to or not we would have to see, but they did pay this much for newspapers 30 years ago.
