Future looks bright for video ads
The article talks about ad-funded online video, and video ads in web pages. Both of these are relevant to me at work.

Looks interesting, even with the number of operators making video available on mobile, this allows an individual get the video content that they have available, in their home or office, delivered to their phone.
So, while they’re on a train, or waiting in an airport, etc. they can get the news, the latest soap, or the view from the security cameras at home/office. This is obviously subject to bandwidth availability and cost. (uploading from home and downloading to phone).

50 cent a day doesn’t sound to bad for the amount of data. Let’s hope other data rates come down also.
(I wonder if you need a “televison reception aparatus” licence for your phone also :-)

Although, I don’t know how well a fashion program would work on such a small screen.
