Brian Morrissey of Mediaweek reports that The Wall Street Journal has flipped the switch today on a plan to make many articles on its BlackBerry and iPhone applications available only to subscribers.
“A WSJ mobile subscription costs $2 per week. Journal print and online subscribers must pay $1 per week. Users of the WSJ’s mobile site do not need an extra subscription.

“The WSJ Mobile Reader apps remain free of charge. Like WSJ.com, the mobile apps will carry a roughly 50-50 subscriber to free ratio. A tech glitch on Monday put all new content on some older versions of the app behind a subscriber wall. Upgrading to the new version of the app fixes that, according to a WSJ spokesperson.”
