Murdoch wants to charge Google
In another speech Murdoch keeps defending charges for content through paywalls on his newscorp publications’ websites. He expects content aggregators to pay for this in the future and this includeds Google.
From the article:
He envisions charging: consumers to access its newspapers and entertainment sites online; sites such as Google that aggregate its news; and cable and satellite providers that carry its free-to-air Fox TV network.
”In fiscal 2010, we will depend on advertising for significantly less of our total revenues across the company and I am confident this trend will continue to grow in the coming years,” he said, citing the rapid earnings growth from News Corp’s pay TV business.
