Will wsj.com go free? Should it?
Don Day September 23rd, 2007
With News Corp. set to close on its deal to purchase Dow Jones and its Wall Street Journal unit, CEO Rupert Murdoch is indicating that wsj.com will go from one of the few successful pay sites to a free site supported by advertising. Several Dow Jones execs says the site should stay paid - but Murdoch thinks the current subscriber base (in the million customer range) would boom to the 10-15 million range - which would more than make up for the lost subscriber revenue.

I, for one, would probably become a customer if it goes free.
