So the Times website has gone all ‘pay for me’, but here on le continent I can read it all with no charges. Is it only paid in the UK?

I wonder at what point Murdoch will deem this approach a failure?
He's renowned for subsidising loss making ventures so the worry is that it may go on for much longer and 'falsely encourage' other newspapers to follow suit.Comment

I buy the Times a couple of times a week only. I suspect that only libraries, coporate comms departments etc will purchase a subscription.Originally posted by Clippy View PostI wonder at what point Murdoch will deem this approach a failure?

I'll buy a subscription, since I already have one to the e-times. I'll get the same access, but cheaper.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Did anyone on here end up signing up?
I must say, I do miss reading some of the articles on there - not enough to line Murdochs pockets though.
