Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense
Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense
11/07/2003 04:16 AMOne of the arguments that shows up here repeatedly is on the
backwardness of local newspapers charging for online content. There
are a number of reasons why it's a bad idea - from the level of taking
yourself out of the online discussion and believing that walled garden
content can survive to misunderstanding the very basic economics of
the internet. Still, many newspapers are trying to do so, and some
even believe that
it's going
well. Along comes Vin Crosbie, who knows both the newspaper
business and the online content world, to
smack
a little sense into them. The Albuquerque Journal explained why
they thought they were brilliant for creating a "successful" operation
charging for their online content, and Crosbie picks apart the
argument, bit by bit, and explains how they're actually losing money
on this plan - and how all their other examples of newspapers charging
for online content are bad (or irrelevant) examples. If you're
interested in the economics of online content, it's worth a read.
Profiting from free, online content
Profiting from free, online content
07/15/2004 06:50 PM There isn't a compelling business argument today that would suggest
that giving away our content is a good idea. (more) What tangible
benefit does the New York Times get in return for being a world news
library to us? It's neat to be revered by all as a repository of
information, but without a visible associated profit, I can certainly
understand why it could be rejected by higher-ups. In the interests of
simplifying things, I'm going to make a gross generalization of this
and call it: "How do I make money while giving everything away for
free?": Advertising The scourge of optic nerves everywhere can still
be useful when done tactfully. Loud, garish ads can send people into
seizures, drive people to distraction, inspire thousands to write code
to block them — all for the sake of making a...

Cisco Says Wi-Fi Problems Thing of the
Past
Cisco Says Wi-Fi Problems Thing of the
Past
12/03/2003 06:15 PMA Cisco executive said that complexity, insecurity, and other problems
with Wi-Fi are past: With current products, companies can roll out
Wi-Fi and bask in their increasing effectiveness and efficiency.
Workers with Wi-Fi spent 1.75 hours more per day in 2001 (than before
2001, I gather) connected to company networks, while that number grew
to 3.5 in 2003. I hear these anecdotes and studies often, especially
in companies like Starbucks or McDonald's which are having Wi-Fi
deployed for them for public purposes, but are reaping the benefits of
having their dispersed managerial and repair workforce online without
returning to a main office. This article covers a speech given at this
week's Wi-Fi Planet conference in Santa Clara, and the writer sounds
frustrated: Proof that running a Wi-Fi network isn't all that
straightforward was given at the Wi-Fi Planet Conference & Expo
itself, where the WLAN was intermittently available. Actually, the
problem is that there's no simple way to have 200 separate Wi-Fi
networks running in a small place and coordinate frequencies. Given
that many vendors are demonstrating products that generate Wi-Fi
networks, as opposed to just use Wi-Fi networks, this is to expected.
(In the future, if 802.11a/g devices proliferate, I'd expect a trade
show to demand some clear 802.11a channels and knock vendors off the
air who use those channels for anything but show business and Internet
access.)...
MCI Plan Approved, Bankruptcy A Thing Of

MCI Plan Approved, Bankruptcy A Thing Of
The Past
10/31/2003 08:30 PMWell, that wasn't so bad, was it? Con millions out of investors, go
through a ton of lawsuits and investigations. Get new management and
a board of directors, give your creditors one-third of what they're
owed and
pop
on out of bankruptcy a "new" company (with a
"new" name) and all's good again. That's right. MCI has had their
restructuring plans approved and they're getting ready to put that
nasty bankruptcy thing behind them. The question, though, is how long
the reputation will linger and whether or not the months of
restructuring has left them without a coherent strategy. There have
been a lot of changes in the telecom world lately, and more are coming
quickly. If they've been focused on cleaning up their internal
situation, they may miss out on quite a bit going forward.

The Difference Between Online Content
And Broadcast Content
The Difference Between Online Content
And Broadcast Content
02/10/2004 02:46 PMMajor League Baseball made news last year for
claim
ing to own all in-progress game data - saying they were going to
go after websites that reported what was happening at a game in
real-time. It didn't matter that the law is pretty clear that you
can't copyright facts - MLB believes that just presenting the data is
a "rebroadcast" of the game. That said, I guess it's no surprise to
hear that they now believe that web audio and video broadcasts of
games should work the same way as television broadcasts with a content
provider
paying a huge
upfront fee for the rights to the games, and then telling them
they can make it back in ad revenue and subscription fees. Of course,
the various internet sites they've approached with this plan have been
laughing them out the door, and pointing out that they're not
television stations, and they just want to provide something useful to
their users - but aren't going to lose money to do so. While MLB has
been at the forefront of offering streaming video and audio, it
appears they still look on this as a broadcast medium, and not the
interactive medium it actually is. They're doing their best to
squeeze more money out of existing fans, rather than attract new fans,
which is dangerous for the future of the sport. Not only do you anger
your biggest fans, you also make it less likely that you're going to
pick up new fans.

20% Of Newspaper Readers Are Primarily

20% Of Newspaper Readers Are Primarily
Online
06/17/2005 03:33 PMIt seems that lots of publications are picking up on a newly released
study saying that
20% of newspaper readers primarily read those newspapers
online. It's a nice stat, but it's the first time the study's
been done, so there's no time frame or comparison data to know what
this really means. While some in the press are talking about how this
represents a
"shift",
it's really hard to know how dramatic a shift it is without that other
data. To be honest, 20% doesn't really seem that high, and is
probably about what a lot of people would guess if asked how many
people read newspapers primarily online. Among the factoids in the
report, though, is that the NY Times is the most read paper online --
though, it will be interesting to see how their
new
strategy impacts this.

02/10/2004 02:51 AMThe Los Angeles CBS affiliate has just released a damning report on
low-carb foodstuffs, in which its lab determines that many low-carb
foodstuffs have far more carbohydrate content than claimed by the
manufacturers ("Low-Carb Emporium claims 15 grams of carbs per bagel.
Our lab found... 55").
At Subway we tested the Turkey Bacon Melt Wrap. Subway claims that it
has 22 grams of carbs, while our lab results showed it at 28 grams...
At Carl's Jr., we tested the low-carb Six Dollar Burger, which the
company claims has six grams of carbohydrates. Our lab results: 9
grams...
We tested TGIF's Sizzling New York Strip with Blue Cheese. TGIF claims
6 net carbs and 11 total carbs. Our lab found 20 total carbs...
Low-Carb Emporium claims 15 grams of carbs per bagel. Our lab found
triple the carbs -- 55. Low-carb Emporium says they just re-did the
formulas and will be getting lab reports on new formulas soon.

Webcomic creator turns down Universal
Syndicate, offers works for free to any
newspaper
08/03/2004 05:15 AMThe creator of PVP Online, a webcomic, has decided to try to put the
funnypapers sydicates out of business by publicly inviting any
newspaper in the USA to syndicate him for free.
This last year, I was contacted by Universal Press Syndicates about
PvP. They know the strip and were very interested in syndicating it as
a feature. I would love to see PvP in newspapers and we started talks.
I let them know that there were six years of archives available and
that I could edit the strips to conform to family paper editorial
standards. The only thing I could not do was give up my ownership and
rights to my creation.
Under no circumstances would I relinquish my copyright, book deals,
merchandise deals, rights to market my strips, etc. If they wanted
PvP, we would agree to a newspaper distribution deal and that was it.
After six weeks the syndicates returned with their answer: They wanted
PvP...all of it. If they could not have the rights to the feature,
they weren't interested. So we parted ways.
But I've already become attached to the idea of seeing PvP in the
papers, and that's why I've decided to start a new program. In the
coming months, I'll be putting into effect, a program in which papers
can receive PVP for free. That's right, free. They don't have to pay
me a cent for it. I will provide for the papers, a comic strip with a
larger established audience then any new syndicated feature, a years
worth of strips in advance, and I won't charge them a cent for it.

Thanks, Russell!)

UK Newspaper Deluding Itself About
Online Impact On Paper Sales
09/20/2004 03:07 PMIt really is looking like the newspaper industry is deluding itself
about the impact of the web on their business. Fitting well with the
story earlier today about
why
newspapers require online registration, comes the news that the
Sun in the UK has decided to
pull some of
its content off the web, after doing a study suggesting that
readers who came to the site then chose not to buy the paper. Of
course, all this really does, rather than drive more people to buy the
paper, is drive more people to other websites. Basically, they're
making the classic disruptive technology mistake: rather than
embracing the new technology that's eating away they're business,
they're trying to deny it exists.
