Smartcompany interview on News Limited's introduction of a paywall


Last week I was interviewed by Smartcompany on News Limited's introduction of a paywall for The Australian news service.  To put it simply, charging for a service that was previously free is problematic because it requires behavioural change.

Here is the interview and my tips for businesses seeking to change the game.

I will be following this piece up with a discussion on why 'free' is so persuasive, so stay tuned.
