#2Headline's kind of sensationalist .... it's 1 pound per day or 2 pounds per week which is much more reasonable. It seems kind of high although the real question is if people are willing to pay anything, the right price can be established after they find that out.

That's hardly sensationalist. The key point is that they are charging. Would you pay the £2 per week?

#4Andrew, please not edit headlines unless necessary. This one should be "Times and Sunday Times websites to charge from June". Yours is inaccurate as benologist already mentioned. See http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

>£0 is unreasonable. I doubt they'll get many subscribers at all.

Maybe they won't. Maybe they will although I expect the price will end up being lower for longer.
I don't think > 0 is arbitrarily unreasonable though.

Nope (I get my news from other sites), but like I said in my comment the first step is to see if people will pay anything at all, then they can find the right price. It's a lot easier to reduce the price then raise it. My guess is they'll end up doing monthly for a few pounds in the long run.
There is a small number of sites I would pay to have access to if I had to.
