Per-country subscription plansPer-country subscription plansPosted Nov 28, 2002 9:45 UTC (Thu) by pavel (subscriber, #7318)Parent article: LWN Update I believe that many people around the world are very sympathetic to LWN's cause and would like to help it stay afloat, but what may seem a ridiculously low price in Northern America and Western Europe is a prihibitive cost to many others. Perhaps it is worth considering a different subscription pricing for poorer parts of the world? After all, it's better to get something than nothing. Also, I tend to support the opinion of another reader from a week ago who stated that delaying the paid-for content release even more should motivate more people to subscribe. A week isn't really such a long time. Best regards,

That approach works for several other groups to which I'm involved.
