That's exactly right. As soon as the first person angrily storms into a 
store demanding payment for minutes or text units that the store used 
the practice will stop dead in it's tracks.  And the smart carrier who 
promises to never allow the practice will see thousands of subscribers 
flocking to it until all the carriers get the point.  The smart carriers 
will only allow it to happen on an opt-in basis or compensated basis 
where one would get discounted - or possibly even free - service for 
allowing the ads. I could see a construct where a pre-paid phone 
customer could earn more minutes by allowing him/herself to be bombarded 
by ads and getting a half a minute free for every ad they opened.
