I think you're missing the point, corporate TV may be entertaining but it is hardly reliable as a source of information. Have a look at the news you get on corporate channels that prioritise entertainment and pushing their own personal agendas over telling people what is actually happening in the world. Compare this to BBC who aren't afraid to tell the truth about corrupt corporations and governments both in their documentaries and news programs as well as actually talking about what's happening in the world rather than the latest Hollywood scandal and telling blatant lies.
I think that if Wikipedia choose to advertise they will have to be very careful to not allow the advertisers to have any kind of influence over the content of actual pages. Well, no more influence than the average person anyway.
At the CeBIT Australia conference last year they had the option to have a barcode sent to your mobile phone that was scanned on entry. It worked quite well, I managed to receive the barcode on my Sony Ericsson T610 the problem was the barcode scanner had a hardtime picking it up of the screen and so they needed to enter in the number manually. Apparently they had to do this for just about everyone.
A quick search found that CeBIT is not the only place that has been using this technology.
