I'd like to see that article - because it's MY understanding that ALL 
advertising is prohibited on cell phones... huge fines and jail time 
involved tor unauthorized commercial use of a cell phone. Primarily 
aimed at telemarketers, but as I understand it, applies to any 
unsolicited commercial content... including commercial content from 
the service provider. They're not allowed to initiate a call solely 
to try to sell you something. Now, putting copies of their 
commercials into the MOH system so you get an earful when YOU call 
THEM... because THEY didn't originate the call.
