I think that Britannica's woes will only deepen. It's hard to compete against
_free_ volunteer projects like Nupedia and Wikipedia. Of course, we aren't really
making a dent in them yet, but anything they do which presupposes that people will
be willing to pay for their content will be disastrous for them in the "long"
run --
the 5-10 years it will take for Nupedia to be competitive with them, or the 1-2 years
that Wikipedia will take.
