Free cellphones for all : Google CEO

Web search leader Google Inc.'s chief executive, Eric Schmidt, sees a future where mobile phones are free to consumers who accept watching targeted forms of advertising.

Schmidt said Saturday that as mobile phones become more like handheld computers and consumers spend as much as eight to 10 hours a day talking, texting and using the Web on these devices, advertising becomes a viable form of subsidy.

"Your mobile phone should be free," Schmidt told Reuters. "It just makes sense that subsidies should increase" as advertising rises on mobile phones.

Google has already begun working its magic in Japan by partnering with mobile phone networks to advance its mobile strategy. Google is also working on ways to efficiently deliver text, image and video ads to mobile phones.

Schmidt stated that consumers could spend anywhere from eight to ten hours using their cell phones to talk and text -- that seems a bit on the high side by all accounts. If consumers were spending that amount of time per day on their cell phones, Google's advertising strategy could work. But recent surveys have found that US consumers only spend on average 30 minutes a day on cell phones.

The Google executive said his own company had no plans to directly give away phones itself, nor is he aware of any effort by partners such as phone makers Nokia or Motorola or mobile operators like Vodafone to make such a radical move, he said.
