Google Says 'No' to Advertising on Glass
Monetization remains a mystery as first headsets ship to developers
Google has banned Glass app developers from placing advertising in the device's display, the BBC reported.
Google released a guide this week for developers making applications, or "Glassware," for the smart glasses. With advertising and paid apps forbidden, it remains to be seen how developers will monetize their apps. Google also banned selling user data for advertising purposes, according to the Business Insider.
This is bad news for ad agencies, who were among those clamoring for the chance to try out Glass and get a glimpse of its advertising potential.
