Jangl and all the other anonymous calling services are preparing to insert advertising in the beginning, middle and end of calls routed through their system via partners like Bebo. I wonder how these plans may change now that Bebo is an AOL property.
I assume that Match members (Jangl powers Match anonymous calling) will not have to listen to “This call brought to you by the University of Phoenix.” (typical junk social networking ads.)
Are there other models for generating revenue from anonymous and free calling services? Embedding ads is the most obvious. I’m wondering about lesser obvious solutions. Thoughts?
What do you think the response is going to be for people who are not interested in the deluge of advertising that is going to come from anony calling services? Leave a comment and let us know.
