This is no-go unless the problem of ice crystal expansion is solved. This causes disruption of cellular and intercellular structures. In effect people so frozen are simply dead. Also freezing is not something instantaneous. By the time brain cells are really frozen they are dead. They die within about 10 minutes after the heart stops. Freezing is not fast enough.
You also have the problem that even if that can be worked around a person so frozen, where I guess now it is just the head with the idea of cloning bodies etc, has to be kept in some sort of endowment. Within a century of so that will burn off like the morning fog. Even if money is kept in trust, economic changes and disruptions can also pull the off-switch. Maybe some famous or powerful people would be maintained and revived in order to know something of the future's past. For the average Jane and Joe if it takes to long I suspect the switch is turned off and they are taken out with the garbage. Now, for those running ALCOR or related companies this might be for now a cash cow. If enough people can be duped into this it might provide serious profits.
