From TechCrunchUK: Europe?s Blyk, the much anticipated and much delayed advertising supported mobile service, may be gearing up for launch very soon. They?ve scheduled a press conference for September 24. The service has also recently said they are ?on track for launch.?
The service will be free for users and targeted to 16-24 year olds. Presumably that age group will be more receptive to receiving an endless stream of advertising in exchange for free mobile minutes and texting.
