Almost 200,000 people have paid a special fee to use The New York Times' "TimesSelect" service since it launched a year ago. The service, which gives access to all of the newspaper's columnists, archives and other features, has now drawn 198,690 users who do not subscribe to the print paper, but pay a special online fee for access. That number is up from 156,000 in January and 183,000 in June--and since the beginning of the year, the Times reports that the service has brought in about $6 million in additional revenue.
