We don’t know how this one will work.service. It will cost about $ 10 per month, and subscribers will have access to an unlimited number of articles from different paid sites. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and other publications can collaborate with the service. Some companies did not agree to a fee of 50% of the service’s profit, so it is not known how many publications participate in this.
The service will also provide access tomagazines. Last year, Apple bought Texture, a magazine subscription service for $ 10 a month. It is not known whether additional fees will be charged for access to the magazines. Perhaps you can only pay for your favorite magazines.
