New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr believes that major newspapers must compete "as distributors, as well as providers of news". The competition will include those with "control not only of certain degrees of information, but real control over the systems and applications that drive that" - in other words, Microsoft, AOL Timer Warner, etc. Speaking at Seybold New York, he cited the Newsstand initiative as an example of a new publishing channel, and said that the Times now has 3,000 NewsStand subscribers.
