Straits Times Ipad subscription charges is a joke

[Fivegear]

They are charging exhorbitant prices. Let's wait and see how long they can hold on to those charges.

Isn't there just a nominal fee for those that already subscribe to the print version?

Pay to read gahmen controlled media ?

[Fivegear]

Yes. It is. But I just can't reconcile the fact that those who already have the paper form will also be reading into the IPAD version much. The whole business model just does not make sense.

Kinda funny considering that business times subscribers are given free and unfettered access to BT online (without time restrictions) which means they can view with their iPads anyway.
