"I wonder how much examination they did of the Blyk model before going live?"

Apparently, not enough. Each Blyk ad gives you around 2.93 pesos worth of service. Each Umobile ad gives you only half a peso of load. The time and effort it takes you to grab your phone and delete an ad is probably worth more than half a peso.

Ewan, here is even more info…well googled it up but anyway:

sounds very Blyk like imho, with member targets, interaction and all

Good thing though for the industry in terms of educating the marketplace of the alternative to trad. bus models.
