Guardian to begin online charges
09 July 2003 
"The Guardian is also planning a first for web-publishing - an advertising-free version of its site, which users will be able to view for £20 a year. Annual subscription to the Guardian will cost £98.57 a year or £10 a month."
That sounds quite expensive. Even though I read the Guardian, nearly everyday, It's too much at £99 a year. £20 is OK.
""The realities of web publishing mean that we also have to seek opportunities to maximise our revenues," said Emily Bell, the editor-in-chief of Guardian Unlimited."
In other words we spent a boat load on a content management system, and the fees and up keep of it is way too expensive, so we need to cream our readers a couple of £million a year to pay for it.
Oh, if only they had gone for a cheap blogging system.
