Forgot your password?  The Internet  Advertising on a Free
Wireless Network? 406  Posted by Cliff from the anything-to-
grab-those-eyeballs dept. Mischievous0ne asks: "I had an idea
yesterday, and I wanted to run it past the Slashdotcommunity.
Would you use a honeypot (free wireless access point) that
covered a large downtown area (3-4 blocks of restaurants, coffee
bars, an iceskating rink, a small park, and general hangout) if
you had to have a framed banner ad at the top of every page you
visited while on the network? Do advertisers still pay for
banner ads? Are banner ads, effective? I live in a college town
in Indiana, and I know there are wireless users here, but the
campus wireless network is severly limited. I'm also not sure
how people would react to the banner ad space in exchange for
free access."  Advertising on a Free Wireless Network?  Comments
