The Financial Times has attracted more than 2m users to its HTML5 web-app, 10 months after its launch.
The app was launched in June 2011 in response to Apple's introduction of new rules governing subscription-based iOS apps.
The sticking point for the FT was less about Apple's demand for a 30% cut of subscription revenues for people signing up from its native app, and more about a lack of access to data on those subscribers.
