[quote][i]Originally posted by Richie[/i] United Kingdom to offer free computers LONDON (Reuters) -- British based company Metronomy will soon be offering free IBM desktops to every citizen in England. One minute of advertising per 20 minutes of computer use is the only catch to the deal, as long as the computer is used at least 30 hours a month. The system, worth approximately $1,400, will even be replaced every three years with the newest technology. The company plans to cover its costs solely through advertising. "We have formed alliances with the vast majority of biggest advertising groups in the world including Omnicom and Interpublic. They will be the funnel which brings in the revenues," says Metronomy CEO and co-founder John Thornhill. Source: CNN Editor's Note: Is it just me, or does it seem a foolish idea to offer a free ad-based computer to the general public...especially those of us who are computer literate enough to bypass ads? Metronomy may have jumped into something they aren't prepared to handle. [/quote]
