Re: Verizon adds advertising to picture messages

This practice is very similar to the way that Verizon places ads on its default WAP portal and requires you to pay for the data that is used to download those ads.  First, they make money off you (at whatever rate based on the plan you use) when you download the ad, and then they make even more money because the advertiser paid them to show you the ad!

 

Given that they clearly need SO MUCH MONEY to make their network run, clearly they need all the free advertising they can get.  Can't you tell that these guys are strapped for cash?
