Net content: From free to fee. (Web services will go the way of cable
television) John Winder. 

Abstract: In this article the author argues that the advertiser supported
model for content on the Internet goes against the mindset of users who
find advertising a distraction from what they want, a distraction that can
be ignored. He believes that there will be fees for content on the
Internet just as there are fees for cable television service.
