That's a very interesting thought...   If they don't catch you in the act, Verizon probably would be fined.....

Hmmm... would Verizon get fined if *I* drew the advertisements on the
sidewalk?

(I am totally not associated with Verizon in any way)

The free advertising from passers by, coupled with the free advertising from
the newspapers reporting it makes this seem like the writing on the wall:
good ROI for USD 1050, we will see more of this chalk advertising (probably
on larger stationary objects such as:
bridges, walls, water towers, and older fat people).
