Given the sort of stories we find on our dailies (Yar'adua says, INEC says, EFCC says, Senate says, MEND says), who in their right minds will pay to read such thrash? Agreed, we buy papers, but that doesnt mean we'll be willing to pay to read the same ol', same ol' online. On the Internet, things are deemed to be in the public domain, and are generally offered for free - which is why Punch's idea will hit the rocks hard, and fast. It just doesnt make any sort of sense.

There a lot of site (local and int'l) that offers fresh and fact, hot news! so why on earth will I have to pay before I could enter a site. I wonder what will have been if google or yahoo restrict there site as well. Anyway goodluck punch, but I don't subscribe to your idea and so many other users of your website.
