Over the weekend Stuart Kennedy at the Australian announced the paper’s plans, quoting deputy chief executive Nick Leeder as saying:
“We’re very likely to charge for it. We’re not certain, but it’s very likely it will be a paid app.”
The article then goes on to point out that the Wall Street Journal – another News Limited paper – will charge $US17.99 ($19.80) a month for a subscription. You could make an educated guess and assume that despite the fact the article doesn’t announce pricing, News are thinking somewhere around that $20 a month mark.
At that rate, I think I’ll pass. But what about you?
