Before they could do it, they'd have to file -- and get approved -- a tariff with the public utilities commission in each state. I'm not at all sure how well such a proposal would fly there.
How long before they'll just make you sit thru a few seconds of pitch before connecting any call? Or any website? How hard is it to stick up a quick bit of flash (e.g.) and then fade to the page you requested?
For a browser -- like, say 'lynx' -- that doesn't even fetch flash links?? <evil grin>

There are already companies offering advertising funded long distance service. And advertising funded VoIP dialtone. It's not like this is a hypothetical that's bizarrely out there. Cheers, Steve
