Is facebook really going to start charging business pages?

Have you seen this posted around facebook?
 
 Facebook is now requiring business page owners to pay to have their status updates read by every subscriber. If they don't, status updates only show in less than 10% of newsfeeds, even though you have "liked" the page indicating you want to see posts from this page. However, there is a way around it. Hover over the button on the page where it says "Like" and then make sure you are check marked to "show in news feed" for that page. Its free! And, you won't miss updates from the businesses that you want to follow. Do it to all of the pages you've "liked." Support the small businesses and help spread the word!
 
 
 
ok gang, I saw this and thought I should check it out and I did. By default, Facebook only shows you items in your news feed that are from friends that you are actively interacting with or posts that have gotten a lot of likes or comments by your friends (the definition of their ‘Top Stories’). 
Currently there is NO plan to charge per this article:

 
What do you think? 
Another rumor, hoax or some greedy corporate people sitting behind a desk thinking of ways to gain even more money?
What ever happened to myspace?
 I think facebook with all their constant changes will start to loose their users as they find the next best social venue. Especially one that isn't charging. 

Guess we shall wait and see.....

Support the little guys!
