The young people who need such a service are not attractive to the advertising industry. If they don’t even have money for cell phone calls why should they be able to buy the advertised products?

Also they are smart enough to avoid the ads. Like they go to the bathroom when an advertising interrupts their favourite TV show they will find a similar solution for Blyk.

Soon the advertisers will realize that Blyk’s calls don’t bring them enough clients. That’s what happened already in 1999 with free internet access and free computers in return for being overrun with ads.
