Looking at airport advertising

I use my iPhone camera as a way to help me observe my environment more carefully. At La Guardia Airport Delta terminal earlier this month, I photographed all the billboards in the gate area. Then, looking at all the billboards together, I'm curious what the collection reveals.

Altogether, I counted 19 advertisements, with following breakdown:

Business services: 2 (Accenture and BuddyMedia)
Banking: 3 (all UBS)
Delta Credit Card: 4 (I'm assuming that Delta owns the terminal and puts these up whenever the space is unsold, so that could be a measure of unused inventory. Or maybe they are paying for these, I'm not sure)
Movies: 4 (two each for The Tourist and How Do You Know?)
Tourist destination: 2 (one for nycgo.com and one for The Top of the Rock)
Telecom: 1 (Verizon)
Electronic gadgets: 2 (Samsung and a Canon scanner)

So, what is missing? What does this small sample tell us, if anything, about the state of the economy?
