From that conference in Paris, I have the impression that Google is VERY CONCERNED about the publishers being angry at Google. They want to move to avoid one terrible thing that could happen to them : the lack of some content if it is removed from their search radar (As Murdoch announced he would do). I think that to them that would dramatically reduce their neutrality and legitimacy withc is the most important thing to them.
They would fell very unconfortable with a “web indexing with black holes”.
So I think that the Publisher have a tremendous window of opportunity to negociate better advertising relationships with Google.

Media the atomic unit is the article. New model.
