"All that has to happen is for a free alternative to come along -- similarly undifferentiated, but equal in perceived value -- and the bottom drops out."
True, though the very fact of being free can sometimes lower perceived value.
Newspapers only bother to charge at all because if they didn't they'd be freesheets, and people can't be bothered reading and don't want to advertise in freesheets (unless the freesheet differentiates itself to counter it's being free, funnily enough).
