The Blue Marble service has been touted as cheaper and more accessible than a regular billboard. Customers pay $8,500 for the installation plus $200 per year for maintenance and upkeep. That doesn’t seem too bad compared to physical billboards, depending on size and location. Online resource site eHow estimates a cost of $75 to $200 per month for a billboard in a rural area, $900 to $2,500 per month for city and interstate signs. However, QR codes have a much wider scope — a range that includes near-earth orbit.
