...when google buys Sirius or XM, you will be able to get free satellite (sans Howard Stern and other shock jocs, who will on only be available to paid subscribers), this will all start to make alot more adsense than it may seem to at present.
...help you lock down the environment. In a school of any size, you likely have a good number of kids that can help you during their free period to better organize the network, and help you maintain a locked down environment. You and the students will learn something pretty useful along the way, and the kids will feel important and powerful, since they will have the ability to help admin things, give special priviledge to their friends, lock the dumb jocks out of everything, and enable the cute girls to download mp3's. This will also give these kids a taste of the real world where the geeks rule. It might even get them to pay attention in class so that they can themselves become one of the geeks.
...will involve targeting ads to individuals across mediums. For example, if you watched Lost last night, you might see an offer online to purchase last seasons episodes on DVD, or better yet, purchase a subscription via your online DVR account (someday standard Internet connections in the US will be fast enough to enable this). For consumers who opt-in, their cable and internet bill will be cheaper, as the advertisers will be paying more for a more qualified demographic. The concept of cookies will work cross platform from an anonymous identification standpoint.
From an advertising standpoint, the bluetooth billboard is an interesting gimmick but as many have pointed out here, there is next to zero benefit for an advertiser in this execution.
...to be studying this sort of thing. In any subject where the laws of Physics apply, physicists are very well suited to look at the data. Since humans are so prone to actions that defy any logic or reason, a behavioral psychologist would be better suited to have an opinion. Let's pose this question back to Steven Hawking.
Dell got to the top of the PC heap by having a decent product at a decent price, with industry leading support. They now have none of these, and have opened themselves wide open for their competitors to each their lunch.
The only way that SBC could save face is to claim that they are going to use every penny that they get from Google to lower costs for access to their consumers, and even take it a step further saying that they will fund Internet access to those who otherwise cannot afford it. What are the chances of that happening? (Don't answer that)
As one who has had the sad misfortune of suffering through a few SOX audits, it is more about how the auditors choose to interpret and apply the regulations, and less about the regulations themselves.
There is also the argument about what constitutes a "material" defect or weakness. Unless someone is running the backbone of their financial system on Linux or other sw covered under GPL, this is probably not relevant as it would not be considered material to the integrity of their financial data.
