I don't know about elsewhere in the world but in South Africa we have an interesting form of advertising during live sport broadcasts.
Periodically, the sport window is scaled to say 60% of the original into the upper right corner. Advertising messages are then flashed on the left and bottom margins of the screen.
I suppose it's acceptable for sports broadcasts and I can imagine it would unacceptable to most viewers if this was done to normal television programming.
Yet, I can also imagine that there would be networks with the gall to do this to their whole programming line-up.
User's of PVR devices wouldn't be able to skip this form of advertising.

You have to take a long term view of how and why you will leverage that technology going forward.
I'd suggest an even more fundamental first step.
First decide what you want to achieve without considering technology i.e. do business strategy. E.g. I want to deliver more services, more widely, more efficiently.
Then create/adapt your technology strategy. E.g. to support these services we need to upgrade our end terminals, upgrade communication infrastructure, deploy new software etc.
From your description, my guess is that you already had a number of these business strategy level services in mind when your decided to roll-our the new terminals, even though it might not have been understood as such at the time.
Be fair. They had a port of Framemaker 5.5.6 for Linux available last year for beta-testing. It was time limited to 31 December 2000. Unfortunately, due to lack of interest from the community, they decided not to release it commercially.

Ah, but isn't the idea of having kids read the book to explore and exercise their imagination?
