Apple Bringing Subscription-Style Billing To iPad Publishers (AAPL)

At today's launch of News Corp's iPad newspaper, the Daily, Apple exec Eddie Cue hinted that all publishers with iPad apps will soon be able to charge readers on a subscription basis.

Through Apple's iTunes app store, the Daily will bill readers either $.99 per week or $39.99 per year.

It's "a whole new subscription billing that's easy to use as one-click," said Cue.

After a reporter asked Cue when Apple plans to make subscription charging available to more publishers, Cue answered, "you'll hear an announcement very soon for other news publications."

"Rest assured that we want our customers to be able to get those publications very easily."

CRTC To Allow Usage-Based Billing

Idiomatick writes "The CRTC ruled in favor this week for usage-based billing. Bell Canada was given a monopoly on lines in Canada, and in exchange they were made to resell to competitors at cost in order to have a functional market. The new CRTC ruling will allow Bell to charge their competitors more money based on individual customer usage. They are now able to implement a 60GB cap on a competitor's highest speed lines (charging $1.12/GB for overages). The effect on the market seems clear."
