FT asking $75/mo for digital access is insane. I'm happy to pay for quality journalism but that's simply out of reach for most Americans. I'd love to know how their management determined this was an appropriate price.

It looks like the $75/mo rate is for their "premium" package. Their standard one is $39/mo.

It looks like that's on the high side, but not radically so compared to typical American newspapers.
