Company Giving Away 500,000 Free TVs
A new company called Telly is giving away 500,000 free 55-inch 4K TVs. The catch is that the TVs have a second screen that will constantly show ads. The company is founded by Ilya Pozin, who is also the co-founder of Pluto TV.
Telly says that the TVs will be delivered this summer. To qualify for a free TV, you must be a US resident and you must agree to allow Telly to show ads on the second screen.
Some people have expressed concerns about the privacy implications of having a TV that constantly shows ads. Telly says that the ads will be anonymous and that they will not track your viewing habits.
Only time will tell if Telly's business model will be successful. However, it is an interesting idea and it could potentially change the way we watch TV.

Ilya Pozin is the co-founder and CEO of Telly. He is also the co-founder of Pluto TV, a free streaming television service. Pozin has a background in technology and business. He graduated from Harvard University and worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company before co-founding Pluto TV.
