We have written before about AT&T Digital Media Solutions but we noticed today also the following on Stratacache’s web site
We feel that it’s only time before all of the big Telco’s and ISPs enter or try to enter the marketplace – when they do, who do you think will they choose as their core platform provider?
Apart from Cisco, c-nario and Stratacache there don’t seem to be many signage vendors targeting this potentially very lucrative marketplace.
AT&T will obviously be strong in the US but it’s also going to be interesting how they try to address the European market.
