Business class: Freemium for news?

Really interesting article on Information Architects about how pay-walls on news sites could offer a better user experience instead of more access, turning the walled garden into a design-rich gated community instead of a Costco of more, more, more content. The side-by-side mockup of what the New York Times site would look like using such a philosophy is difficult to argue against. Business class is where it’s at.
