Times loses market share after online paywall

Following months of speculation, News International has erected a paywall around the Times newspaper website. After a couple of weeks running two sites, www.timesonline.co.uk and www.thetimes.co.uk in parallel, visitors to the former site are now automatically redirected to the latter.
Since last Tuesday, users have had to register to read content on the Times website (as well the separate Sunday Times site).
However, they don't yet have to pay: during the trial period, which is expected to last until the end of the month user have to just register to access the content behind the paywall.
