There are so many reasons I like reading the news on the Internet — it's free, it's up to-the-minute, and it's convenient. I don't even bother with sites that have a paid subscription service to view their content online, because I can usually get that news somewhere else. Sometimes I'm even too lazy to register to view a site.
I was shocked to read that Rupert Murdoch announced that the Wall Street Journal is going to remain a mainly subscription-only site. Many online newspapers (like the New York Times) have stopped the practice. It just feels like this is not the general direction that the Internet is heading, and that they're dragging their feet.
But it makes me curious — do any of you pay to subscribe to websites?

I hardly ever pay attention when my cell phone carrier increases the fee for sending text messages—Five cents, ten cents, it usually all looks the same.
However, I'm finally starting to take notice because more and more phone carriers are hiking up their prices. According to CNN Money, T-Mobile has already increased their rates from 10 cents to 15 cents, and Sprint started charging 20 cents per message in October.
Verizon is the most recent carrier to join the group, as they will raise the price of text messages by five cents starting March 2nd.
Considering text messaging is said to account for about forty-five percent of all data revenue, it's no surprise that carrier companies are attempting to cash-in on the millions of texts sent each year. How do you feel about this? Would you switch phone carriers if they raised the fees?
