In a conference call, Murdoch said the current system of Internet access was "malfunctioning" and likely to change to a fee-based system within a year, CNN reported Thursday.

"We are now in the midst of an epochal debate over the value of content and it is clear to many newspapers that the current model is malfunctioning," he said.

Customers would pay "handsomely" for accessing the Web site, he said.
