You don't think advertiser supported approach charts are in the future? I
sure do.


Well, first of all...

If ad-supported approach charts were such a viable business model, there's
no reason they shouldn't exist today. That's not a technology thing, it's a
user thing. There's already plenty of ad-supported printed media.

That said, if ad-supported approach charts ever do become a reality, more
power to them. Many people do not mind ad-supported products at all. They
apparently like paying their subscription through the marketing middle-man.
There will still be a market for the ad-free subscriptions, and people can
choose as they like.

The point *here* is that there's no fundamental reason why, if performance
is improved, animation would not be possible, nor even desirable, on
e-paper.
