NetZero or some such free internet service back in the late 90s tried to do this for a free dial up service. As I recall due to the poor connections & download rate, getting an add as frequently as they wanted to greedily throw them at you was their downfall. I'm just wondering when or if this may become an issue for this LG subsidiary.

Can't say as I'm a little in favor of the idea though. Rings of the old out-of-air broadcasts most of us old timers grew up with. TV & radio broadcasts being the only way of getting the media entertainment full time & all. Of course, none of you younger people have ever had the privilege of seeing a sign on/off of a TV station when the FCC "MADE" them actually stop broadcasting for 'x' number of hours a day.

One 15 second ad???

That's more than a fair trade for free service of that magnitude and stature.

Am I the only one envisioning a bunch of NORTH Koreans huddled up next to the fence trying to connect to the "free Wi-Fi" like all the cars parked outside of Starbucks or McDonalds here in the US?

Reminds me of all the rednecks lined up & down between the interstate Best Western & McDonalds, switching back & forth trying to get the best download rate over here where I'm at.
