Actually they did that back in the early 80s with an $80 a month fee and a 1-800 line. It failed because they saved the "best" content for the magazine and for your $80 a month you got their equivalent to "Beaver Hunt".
I met with them at Comdex in the 80s as I was the publisher of the world largest toll free area BBS listing at the time and I didnt understand it then and I still dont understand it now.
Why you would save your best content for people paying less than $20 over those paying $80?
The worlds richest and most recognized library squandered then and now. Only difference is being a stockholder now.
Congratulations to all the winners.
