48 percent of Internet users in the United States said in the survey (done by Boston Consulting Group) that they are open to pay for access to news online (including on mobile devices). The same survey made in several Western European countries shows that more than 60 percent of Internet users in Europe would pay.
Even if numbers seem to be not enthusiastic for news providers from USA, indeed it is a big surprise that people are still open to pay for access to information even if there are plenty of free sources of news in the Internet.
