Murdoch Pay Wall

I personally think that BBC should be allowed to post free information. Although it makes it hard when it comes down to the market, not everyone is able to pay for what they see online. Many other companies dislike the BBC because they offer free information. In their argument if the BBC is able to provide free news online, then why would anyone go through the extra mile of paying for it? The only reason to why the BBC do it is because they are licensed so they receive money either way.
 Rupert Murdoch has tried to use facilities to make a profit out the information that is posted online by charging people who want to have access to it. I think that his way of trying to make money out of the internet as technology changes is smart but I think that not a lot of people are willing to pay for it . He is trying to use the changes that occur in technology to his advantage but I personally don't think he is achieving. No one is willing to pay for something when they can receive it for free.  I think he needs to realise this competition and try to make profit using different methods.
