Trouble is though, charge the consumer a fee for the news pages online, and you then lose all the advertising revenue which is most likely worth much more. Look at the Sky/VM spat a year or so ago - Sky needed Virgin to carry its channels as the advertising revenue fell without the viewing figures.
