jeex....

where is the sing up page ?

really want this ...

btw....williams petroleum. of misisisisisisiiiisisppi , make a billion dollars on the OLD gas lines they had had for years...by running the fiber optic cables through the lines for mci, I think.

anyway, I am thinking that the wifi will replace cable before too long...

set it up for a neighborhood, get internet access to all the tv you want and have your biz line also ...

interesting...

GADZOOKS...

I've been had!

I thought Gmail paper was another innovative idea from the google folks.

But still....I ask

Why NOT?

Why NOT Charge for advertising on letters mailed out?

As you say Phil, how can this be "Twisted" or "Tweaked"?

Hmmm

But... Email DVD's... Email PDF's?

Thanks Duane.

A service like Gmail paper doesn't make sense because of the economics.

It would be very hard to get more than 10 cents per imprint of an ad. And it costs way way more than 10 cents to print a paper and then deliver it.

But there is a service started in India. Where you email your letter and send the postage + a small fee along. The co. then prints your email, adds postage to it and then mails it.

And the Indian postal service also offers this other thing: people can pay half price (I think its half price but not 100% sure) to send a postcard if its ok with them to show ads on the flip side of the postcards...

So ads are getting more and more intrusive. But I don't the economics are there to make posting completely free yet.

And rumour has it - that Google is working on making cell phone networks free - by sending ads to cell phones (I read that before April 1st - so am pretty sure it wasn't a spoof).
