Murdoch could take it national and compete with USA Today for the business traveler crowd.

It is national even international already. The USA today doesn't really sell many copies. It is mostly purchased in bulk and given out free at hotels and airports. It would be nice if the WSJ had a traveling subscription so it would be possible for a subscriber to pick up a copy anywhere in the world with no addtional charges.

One of the worst thngs about traveling is USA Today in your hotel room and CNN on all the monitors at the airport.

Actually, USA Today sells over 1 million copies/day (much more on Friday) and an additional million to hotels and restaurants for a total of 2.3 million a day. You may look at them as free, but the hotels pay for them.

the reason they are at hotels is because guests want them.
