However, if you are getting the service for a low fixed cost, mobile (Web) ads make sense, IMO, just as they do on the Web.

If I can't get the banner adds switched off, the phone will have to go back. I have to put up with them on the web (which I get for free), I am not prepared to put up with them on the phone (which costs money). Ok, I will put up with them if I get the phone and services for free, but until that happens, I won't. As to powering innovation at google and yahoo, the maps are nice on google, but inovation is hardly advanced and I don't recall the last thing yahoo innovated.
