If CCP wants another source of revenue, they have a lot of NPC corporations that could be used to advertise out-of-game commodities.
For a yearly fee from Coca-Cola, Quafe Corp. could become Coca-Cola, including all Quafe products becoming Coke products.
Research corporations could become Intel, Motorola, NVidia, etc.
Courier corporations could become FedEx, UPS, etc.
Does not affect gameplay, and gives CCP another income source.
Vote YES if you support in-game advertising of real-world items and corporations.
Vote NO if you do not support in-game advertising of real-world items and corporations.

YES! I vote yes absolutely.
These specifics of how to do it in the OP may or may not be how it'll happen, but it's definitely something I think CCP should consider.
AND ALL YOU GUYS SHOULD REALISE:
More money for CCP means bigger budgets for them to spend on EVE, their customer service divisions and other projects. Or at least they'll be a little bit happier.
You guys must all understand that games companies often struggle (or are limited) with money (budgets) when it comes to innovation and reaching for the sky (so to speak).
And to all you pricks who say CCP is greedy? You're either very ignorant or haven't given it much thought - I know from personal experience working in the games industry that times are tough for many games companies (i don't know ccp's financial situation however) but I know as a game developer your pay is often quite poor considering the amount of hours and stress involved. Most game developers I've ever spoken with agree that you can forget about getting a mortgage etc. Coz it's simply too risky.
It's your passion for games that keeps you going however

NO. I think having 21st century corporations advertising in a game like EvE is extremely tacky, and immersion breaking. I think there are services involving advertising that could work for EvE, like allowing corporations to advertise on Captain's Quarters for a fee, but I think it should be kept to the confines of the EvE universe.

No, it really means more money to spend on Dust and WoD development. |

thereby expanding the EVE universe and allowing ccp to reach their goal of being able to provide us with the 'ultimate sci-fi experience'
though it would be nice, as mentioned by many people before me, if they could re-invest the money into resources/staff for fixing EVE's current (and long-standing) game-play and UI issues.

Interesting idea, but the EVE player base is quite small as an advertising audience. I think the revenue CCP earns from it wouldn't be much.
