Verizon to Introduce Cell Phone Ads in 2007
Filed in archive Mobile Phones by Eric Hanson on December 26, 2006
ads next year. Yes, doom and gloom and your life is ruined. Or so says TechSpot.com, which is in a tizzy about the upcoming ad serving.However, if you read the original NY Times article that TechSpot links to, things really aren't as bad as they sound - they're going to be serving ads in spots where you'd expect to see ads online. Think about it: when you surf the Internet on a cell phone, unless you're hitting up something like Google's WAP site, you're going to see ads anyway - why shouldn't Verizon get a cut of the action? What would be nice, of course, would be if they cut prices on their data plans as a result, but I think that will only happen if a.) they make money from the ads and b.) other carriers follow suit and cut data plan prices for a competitive edge.
