Alot of people are inside stations spinning ships much of the day - utilize this:
Player Controlled advertising

Make it so players can activate themselves, their corps and their businesses. Alot of players run ingame businesses where the other players are customers, here to list a few:
Mercenary Corps, Mining Corps, Casino (Blink), graphic artists, teamspeak servers - and all the other things where people trade with ISK!

Stations are kinda boring anyway, so spice it up with animated/static billboards - no audio though.
Player-run stations can decide their quotes themselves, and NPC stations can be controlled much like NPC commodities.

What do you think?

I like it! Sandbox game where everyone could use the advertising mechanics to get his project/buisness running.
Also it would be an ISK Sink which is imo needed.
Thing is, it would need to have some kind of "editor" to make your advertisment but it could also be done in some kind of "corp logo creation"-manner.

Nah man. Let the many graphic artists and designers do it - but enforce a "for isk only" policy. Its a cool way to trade out-of-game stuff for ingame stuff. Poeple already do it/advertise it on forums (see webdevelopers etc). Could be done in-game!

Player generated content on display. I like this idea!

Well what do you mean then? A link that is opened automaticly in the background on some screens?
I would just use the already existent Corp-Logo-Creator, add some more functions to it (Text, Position, Import of other Logos from the Game) and there we go.
What should the graphic artists / designers work with? In-Built powerfull tool compareable to Photoshop?
Keep the work for Devs easy and it is more likely to happen. Lol

in-built? No.

Let them import graphics into the server. Much like alliance logos.

Plus one! They could just add it to the CQ screen and put a screen where the station logo is in legacy mode.
