Very exotic concept with the securitization of ad inventory =) I would guess the biggest barrier to securitization is the lack of fungibility between different ad units. There are simply too many "non-comparable" SKUs out there, unlike say...a futures market where corn is just corn. When every context and CPM rate has it's own SKU, how can you create enough liquidity?
