Rafat wonders when TV-style commericals will make their way onto iPods (PaidContent.org):

For now, ABC, which is providing TV show downloads for it at $1.99 an episode, says that won’t be the case.
But skeptics don’t believe it. “TiVo and satellite radio were not ad-supported but they are loosening their guidelines to accept ads,” said Brad Adgate, research director at Horizon Media. “It really depends on the finances of Apple.”

While Apple may own the decision in the short term, I’m guessing on-demand mobile video will proliferate beyond iPods, and the content providers (have you heard this one before?) will trade the pay-per-view model for widespread, ad-supported viewership. Yup, podmercials are coming.
