Additional remember that certain companies like Cisco Learning Partners
that use to pay Packet magazine to include a training catalog with the
packet magazine and then shrink-wrap the two items together and then you
would get the catalog too.
If the paper based subscriptions go dramatically down in circulation
then is it worth the partner to pay to include the training catalog.

Subject: Re: Cisco Charging for Packet now?
That's where I was coming from...similar to Christopher...Packet is
loaded with Ads and they probably have a pretty decent subscriber
base...what will charging $30 a year per subscription really do? Seems
to me like subscription numbers will go down significantly and thus most
likely resulting in Ad space not being as valuable.
I'd be curious to see the numbers on this, current # of subscriptions
and # of subscriptions in one year...then see what the Ads look like.

I know that if I was an advertiser that I would be upset with
the decide
to start charging Cisco customers for the printed version when
it is
really the advertisers that Cisco makes their money from when it
comes
to Packet magazine.
Of course we were all promised last year at Networkers 2005 that
Packet
magazine would be continued to be free for those of us that did
not want
the digital copy but the hardcopy instead.
I wonder if I can ask for a magic button for the digital version
of
Packet magazine that would print out the magazine on my color
duplex
laser printer WITHOUT all the advertiser's ads since it is now
my dime.
Cisco are you listening ....

Did anyone see this? Packet is no longer free for the printed
edition...it now costs money.
I received my renewal notice today and it is no longer free, I
checked
their web site to verify.
Interesting...
