The winning advert in the competition will be beamed past the earth's atmosphere, beyond our solar system and into the Universe, to anyone 'out there' that may be watching. The winning ad will also be broadcast on terrestrial TV.</p> <p>On 12th June, the space-bound ad will be broadcast from a 500MHz Ultra High Frequency Radar from the EISCAT Space Centre in Svalbard, which lies in the Arctic Ocean about midway between northern Norway and the North Pole.</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/r_john/blog/advertising_in_space">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/r_john/blog/advertising_in_space#comment advertising space viral marketing Farscape Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:04:13 -0500 r.john 3953 at http://www.punkplanet.com
