WTF Ad Campaign Raises Eyebrows

WTF on billboards is a great way to get your town noticed. Well, at least it's a better way than relying on the town's "Fruita" name. City Manager Clint Kinney wanted to post ads with "WTF" on billboards and bumper stickers.

"Microsoft said that Motorola asked it to pay a royalty of $22.50 for a laptop computer worth $1,000 for its use of 50 Motorola patents that apply to a video technology standard. It said that this compares to a 2 cent royalty charged by a group of 29 companies that offer the use of more than 2,300 patents for products following the same video standard." Comments...
