Every major industry has a site that requires paid subscriptions. The only thing about that is most of the time the industry leader trade mag or service that has been around for years is the one who develops the site that they subscribe to.

For instance, in the music industry it's Billboard their Billboard Bulletin costs several hundred a year and they have several thousand subscribers. Then there's Soundscan (the sales reporting tool) and BDS (the radio airplay tool) that both cost several thousand per subscription yearly.

There's lots of money in business subs. Look at Bloomberg. He's a billionaire. His stock reporting tool was nothing but an early internet terminal.
