(keitai-l) Re: D2 communications

i heard that the current ads are actually just text, specifically,
two lines of 8 characters each.
does anyone know some specific sites that are using ads?
(preferably, those accessible from outside!)

ps:  having some fun with jeffrey's numbers:

    assume a monthly traffic of 4.5B page views, and
    13M i-mode users, and
    1K average page size, and 2.4 yen/KB packet charges.
    this yields an average monthly packet charge per user of
      4500M / 13M * 2.4 = 831 yen/month

    i seem to remember a much higher number, like 2000 yen, was claimed.
    maybe my assumptions are off, or maybe packet charges are incurred
    for other things besides viewing pages.
