Digital access to the NY Times – $200?

AppleInsider reports that the NY Times intends to charge digital only subscribers $15 a month beginning within a few months. I guess we all will then have to make personal decisions regarding the value of access to the NY Times. I link to NY Times articles frequently and I scan a couple of sections daily, but $200 is more than I am willing to pay. I was hoping for something like $50. I guess my argument would be that I have and desire access to many information sources and this seems like a lot for access to just one no matter what the quality. The Times will continue to allow access to up to 20 articles a month. If I could select the ones I want, this might be about the extent of my present interest, but I would pay something for a little more.
