People will build these solely for the "ego-boo" involved. The result will be, if the advertising is sold on a CPM basis, that advertisers, once they realize that a significant percentage of the impressions are being displayed to a void, will exit stage left, precipitously. If the advertising is performance based, then MetroFIwill eat it big time, as the folks "hacking" the system will also likelybe heavy users. Regards, Thomas Leavitt
