A growing number of marketers are using digital technology to push their advertising messages on high-definition video screens in venues where consumers gather.
One pundit has dubbed the growing business of reaching consumers when they're outside of the home as the "outernet". These advertising networks typically blend commercial messages with news, sports, and weather feeds supplied by major media companies. The flurry of out-of-home advertising is spreading to convenience stores, grocery store checkout counters and elevators in office buildings.
The outernet industry is pitching itself to advertisers that are frustrated with the high cost of traditional media and the never-ending search for advertising outlets that work.
"It's a very chaotic advertising market right how, and that chaos tends to work for us," said Charlie Nooney, chief executive of San Francisco-based Premier Retail Networks Inc, which sends advertising into shops operated by Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Best Buy Inc.
Wireless technology can push advertising "anywhere you want, in trains or in cable cars at ski resorts," said Nancy Jackson, a vice president with Westford, Massachusetts-based Captivate Network Inc in the US.
The screen ads account for a tiny sliver of the US＄5.3 billion outdoor advertising industry. But as the cost of digital technology drops, screens that show television-like commercials are expected to make inroads in the category.
The industry operates on a simple principle: Find out where consumers are gathering and put a screen in their faces. Industry players want your free time, whether it's a 20-second elevator ride at work or a two-minute wait to pay for your groceries. Messages are tailored to fit into the available window; some of the advertising pitches run 10 seconds or less.
"If you are standing in line waiting for a Big Mac and fries, you've got nothing else to do," said Tracy Crocker, president of Next Generation Network, which is installing advertising screens in 7-Elevens. "And you're going to remember those commercials more than the ones you see sitting around at home watching your favourite TV show because there are no distractions."
Although the sector often is lumped in with billboards and other out-of-home advertising options, industry players say their screens are a close cousin of cable television because the systems promise to deliver specific demographics rather than the broad audience a well-placed billboard attracts.
Captivate Network, for example, focuses on elevators and lobbies of high-rise office buildings that are home to high income executives.
Technology advances that continue to cut the costs of installing screens and transmit ting content and advertising are at the core of the new advertising medium. Captivate Network uses wireless local-area networks in elevator shafts to send content and advertising onto flat-panel screens mounted in elevators. In the late 1990s, the system required complicated wiring for each car, an expensive and time-consuming process.
The new technologies remove barriers that have kept advertisers from reaching, say, commuter train passengers, said Captivate Network executive Jackson.
Initial market research suggests that consumers are more apt to see the electronic displays than traditional, static advertising. Premier Retail Networks last year unveiled a Nielsen Media Research study suggesting that customer recall for outernet advertising shown on screens inside Wal-Mart locations surpasses rate for similar advertising shown on television.
Which of the following about the outer net is NOT true？
A．It refers to such outdoor advertising as elevator advertising and billboards.
B．It is now less expensive and time-consuming than the traditional media.
C．It benefits a lot from technology advances.
D．It will become more and more popular as an advertising outlet.

听力原文： It now seems like a distant memory. Last summer, Google Inc. slashed its asking price for shares in its initial public offering by 30 percent to ＄85 a piece to attract more demand. Who would have thought that 10 months later, the stock of the Internet search engine provider would be closing in on $300 a share？ What's more, many analysts don't even think that's where it will top out in the coming months. Docs Google sound like a stock bubble？ It's too soon to tell, but worries over that aren't doing much to deter investor interest. Since it went public last August, Google has surprised everyone and no one anticipated this kind of bulish response for its stock, however. That's because investing in Google has risks--they existed when it went public and they continue today.

Apple's new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM-compatible programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufacture's new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM software is Apple's effort at making Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.
The new computers represent a big improvement over past models but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.
Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor's computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics, whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies' products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.
According to the passage, Apple computer, Inc, has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because
A．IBM is changing its computer models continuously.
B．it wants to make its machines specialize in specific users.
C．it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer market.
D．it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its examples.
