The hope is that the company bombs, and that the people who got this television get to keep it with no strings attached. You know, like what happened with the Gizmondo, or the CueCat.

It's hard to imagine that the financials for this really make sense. You're not gonna get $500 of advertising value just from scraping one household's data, so I'd imagine this is just some stupid VCs getting duped out of their money.
