Ashley: $500/pop for 20 years. That is roughly $25/pop per year. If the average penetration of 3G services is 50 percent over the twenty period, it is about $50/year per paying subscriber. $4/month. That is worth about 200-400 impressions a month of advertising. The wireless provider can recover it by just its brand-building capabilities. Every time you check your voice mail, you hear "You have reached Sprit PCS voice mail" or "AT&T". Or on the wireless device a perpetually revolving logo of the wireless provider.
