With the Live service such a success and Nintendo rolling out its WiFi network, it seems odd that Sony isn't going to try for something similar. -
Will Internet Users Pay for Content?

He is founder of Borders Group, a $3.4 billion company that is the second-largest bookseller in the USA, as well as the billion-dollar online grocer and dotcom flameout, Webvan. Borders thinks he has found the answers and has just launched KeepMedia, an online newsstand subscription service. As someone who has had spectacular success and failure in his career, Borders' latest venture will be an interesting one to watch."
