Let me analogize with freeview tv and the BBC,ok hang in thier with me - viewing figures have dropped markedly since the eighties for the BBC and freeview channels continue to grow , BBC has survived by diversifying; adding more content via more channels and more tools such as i player.

Although you might be able to have free listings, you'll probably have to pay to get any significant response. In this context, the rather extreme quote of "We have no intention of ever charging, and if I had to change to a subscription model, I’d shut up shop tomorrow." seems bizarre as the reality wouldn't be light years away from a subscription model.
