8 hours a day is a lot of TV, though I guess they wouldn't be aiming this at people with a regular 9-5 job. On the other hand, the folks in that demographic probably wouldn't be as valuable to advertisers.

1 commercial every 2.5 minutes also sounds awful, but between MythTV and Netflix I haven't watched ads for a very long time now, so maybe my sense of timing is out of whack and I guess it was ~8 minutes of ads for a 30 minute show for a long time which isn't too far off your proposed schedule.

Unlike regular TVs, this TV has a dedicated screen attached at the bottom that show nothing but ads, so it's not comparable with showing ads in a show. They'll be showing ads at the bottom of the show, constantly, like an ad banner in a website.
