In the linked article ~~ is the following:
________________
“Orange in the UK is looking to offer cell phone service at reduced rates to those willing to put up with ads.
This is an interesting concept as there are those who need to keep cell phone service charges to a bare minimum.”
________________
Is it just me, or are “those who need to keep cell phone service charges to a bare minimum” really, really poor candidates to spend a lot of money on advertised services?
I mean, if basic cell phone service is too big a stretch, how much disposable income do they really expect those folks to have to spend on advertised products and services? :o)
