MobileInfo Comments and Advisory: It
is interesting to see that 3G
networks, in future, could send short movie previews to fans who are
eager -
sort of targeted advertising. We are wondering who will pay for it.
Most subscribers may balk unless the promoters send a discount
coupon - a strategy that more and more wireless advertisers are now
trying.
