Yeah, his move is the logical next move for targeted advertising. It certainly does change the business model for box makers like Compaq, but hey - Nokia has seen tremendous growth as their phones have become increasingly subsidized by customer service purchases. Check out the techstocks.com thread to comment or see the WSJ article if you haven't already.

Red: Haines just did the Bill Gross story - COMPAQ filled the screen. Is this a positive? I think a lot of people would take a free PC in exchange for ads. It's not like CPQ is giving them away - they should be able to sell a lot of PCs to Gross. Why buy a DELL when you can get a free Compaq? Wonder how Alta Vista figures into this??????
