I have wanted, for a while now, for news sites to get together and figure out some shared form of monetization - pay a single rate, and get access NYT, Huffpo, bloomberg, etc., maybe with an option to pay more depending how much or on which sites I read the article.
Or a single site where I could access and manage subscriptions to multiple sites. I WANT to subscribe to newspapers/new sites, but I don't want to be subscribed to 5 different subscription schemes and juggling that.
