How does this system work anyhow?

As of Monday the ICO removed their guidance for Bluetooth marketing making Bluespam legal. Full details on my blog.

Transvision is the name of some advertising companies latest 'strategy' at delivering content. On both occasions I did think that it could possibly be a malicious file containing a virus of some kind - but seeing as curiousity usually gets the better of me (and I had all my data backed up), I checked it out. Slightly enthused at first (forgetting the fact that the audio in the video sent was inaudible due the level of noise in the station at peak times), now it's just a pain. They should set thier systems to only send an advertisement out ONCE to any single handset (this is quite possible, as each device has a unique code identifying it). It seems that this will be yet another price to be paid for leaving your bluetooth switched on. I have had this twice now, both at London Euston I believe.
