For one thing, far too many people already have a plethora of sounds being beamed directly into their crania (?), albeit via the traditional method of the ear-canal, what with personal stereo/mp3 players, cellphones, blue-tooth headsets and whatnot. Enough people complaining that their telephone conversations or music listening is being disrupted by these "billboards", and the FCC, FTC, or some other government agency will either ban or severely restrict their usage.

After all, it's one thing to be constantly assaulted by advertisements as you're walking down the street, but at least you still have the option of not looking or turning up the volume on your own device. As I understand this new technology, you really don't have any similar option if you come within range of one of the transmitters, so it does, to a certain extent at least constitute an invasion of privacy - at least what little privacy we still have left outside of our own homes.

i impinges on my liberty & my pursuit of happiness. but, this being Murka, i bet its everywhere in a year, especially in malls, which are private space.

on public right of ways it will take 6 months longer.

If this is the case, then it can easily be drowned out with an ipod or cellphone... In any case, I'd say it's an improvement over loudspeakers, since it only hits you in a small area.

For want of a blowtorch an intrusive billboard was saved.

This is so far beyond the line that I would actively help anyone seeking to get rid of this thing.

I don't think its much different that a traditional loudspeaker, people will get use to it and it will get regulated if its out of hand. Kinda like traditional speaker advertisements.
