According to La Repubblica, Google has spent the past year working on a paid content system for publishers to be known as Newspass. The system would see Google offer simple access content from an assortment of publishers using a single login. Publishers decide how much they charge for access to their content, but users will be able to easily make payments with Google Checkout. It’s not clear how many markets Newspass will be available in, but recent comments made by Google seem to indicate that a launch of a system like Newspass would be far and reaching.
