A new model?

I read with interest this post from ReadWriteWeb re the Associated Press.

In a world where everything is FREE and available to all, what might a new business model be?

If there is value to the target market in 30 mins.... what might the benefit of speed be in my target markets?

It is not really speed ofcourse, other than in a relative sense. It is faster than the next guy, and therefore valuable.

My industry struggles under similar conditions to the journalism one. We need to find our own new models... I will watch this with interest to see how they go.
