They won't block google because they are aligned with US. Google will probably remove it's news tab in Australia.

No matter which country. news organizations have to eventually find a way to organize and deal with their internet providers to get a fee based on quality and quantity of news they provide.

Imagine the outrage if your ISP told you the fee was going up to pay for Murdoch's propaganda machine.

After he is gone, I don't think that his kids will stick around as long as he did but other entities will jockey up for the field and that process will continue if there are consumers of it .

News and editorials have to be separated. Editorials and blogs should not be paid for via such funding in my opinion.

ISP funding of various type of blogs, media, arts, etc should become elective via bundles that people select otherwise.
