Slovakia Is About To Introduce Wide-Ranging Paid Content

PaidContent reporting 8.4.2011
Nine of Slovakia’s main media operators are about to introduce a shared “paywall” service.
Its three national broadsheet newspapers, a tabloid, a TV station and two magazines will, from May 2, introduce services supported by Project Piano, a nascent industry-wide paid content technology which we wrote about in November.
Project Piano will charge readers €2.90 ($4.14/£2.54) per month or €0.99 ($1.41/£0.87) per week to access multiple news sites from across Slovakia and, eventually perhaps, the neighbouring Czech Republic, giving participating publishers 70 percent of the take; Piano is left with five to 10 percent after bank and mobile operator fees. The system will be introduced on April 18 for free for two weeks.
