They go along major tourist areas with a couple posing as tourists and get people to take pictures of them with the new state of the art camera they happen to have. Then if asked they start telling the ones approached to take the pics of this fake couple about the great new features it has.
From what I was told it works as they are getting directly to the ones that most likely would use the camera or such.
I was at a meeting today for a tech briefing on the DirecPC setup. (I work retail) You can use this system with any ISP for $39.99 on top of your ISP charges, as long as you have a place to put the dish that faces south without obstructions and as long os you run windows 98. The start up cost is $199 for a 2 system LAN with each additional available via software download/purchase from the web. The downside is that (if I remember correctly, my notes are at work) that oyu need a 300mhz+ win98+ system with USB on the motherboard for someresaon it is not compatible with add-on USB cards or at least not compatible when using AOL as you ISP which is not multi user ready.
Not bad when for another $50 plus service you can also get a TV receiver for hte same dish.
