The Price of Paying
It seems that a lot of people plan to start charging for Internet content that was once free. Newspapers are looking into micropayments of pennies to read particular articles. Hulu is contemplating charging fees for some of its highest value video content. And our old pal Barry Diller told attendees of Digital Hollywood’s “Advertising 2.0” conference last week that, well… advertising ain’t gonna carry all the freight: At some point, content owners will start charging for just about everything, and the public will—perhaps reluctantly at first—pay for it if they want to watch, read or listen to their favorite stuff. Meanwhile, cable operators and programmers are trying to figure out authentication, which promises to at least limit much online video content to only those who pay for cable. Seems like the online world is going to get a whole lot less free in the coming months and years....

TV Everywhere... Now It Gets Tough
Last week’s announcement by Comcast and Time Warner Cable that the two biggest MSOs would work together on an authentication could determine the fate of online video for everyone—at least when it comes to premium content. While it's smart to test the market and see what works, will cable be able to convince the public that TV Everywhere isn't just an attempt by big media to extend its content stranglehold? These two cable giants may want to move cautiously....
