Dubai Retail Banking

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

TellerTV will tell you all about the pilot bank installs that go nowhere (sometimes there was no chance that they would – some we believe are announced as ‘stoppers’) but we have heard from a number of folks in the last day or two about a number of ‘hot’ UAE digital signage projects and deployments […]

CBS Outdoor To Do a Digital Mall?

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We thought that Eye Corporation were in line to win this business but Media Week thinks (or knows) otherwise. This is quite big news for digital out of home and our interpretation of the (possible) announcement is as follows… CBS outdoor and not Clear Channel or Titan might win what is ostensibly a traditional shopping […]

EuroShop is looking more and more like an event that the digital signage and digital out of home sectors should have taken an interest in – for those companies spending their marketing budgets on useless printing shows in the middle of England, take note!! Over the last 12 months a number of folks have asked […]

Remote Media’s 6-Sheet At Sign & Digital UK 2008

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Remote Media call their 70″ product a digital 6-Sheet – we prefer not to call it that when by its size (or lack of) it does not match up to true 6-Sheet (or even 4-sheet) sizes. See http://www.dailydooh.com/archives/267 for a sizing chart. There were a plethora of (we think) poorly built attempts at 6-Sheet products […]
