#dse2012 err Getting Noticed By Advertisers?

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

If rVue‘s Mantra is ‘Digital Out-of-Home Media Made Easy‘ why then does their latest quarterly filing show so little ad revenue? We’re just asking but we thought it kinda funny – especially when we read the filing statements at the same time as some of the latest announcements from the organisers of #dse2012. We quote… […]

Keith Kelsen, AOpen And OpenService

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

An interesting ‘factoid’ came our way Wednesday. From what we can make out from those we spoke to (no-one in Europe or the US would go on the record) it appears that AOpen are relying on the combination of Keith Kelsen and John Curran (that will be ‘5th screen digital services’ then) to push, promote, […]

Amscreen Vorsprung Durch Technik?

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We notice that Amscreen has now installed just over 1,000 screens in venues in Germany. The map itself (albeit static BUT watch this space as our R&D folks are working on a very interesting project at the moment) is quite an impressive sight… Looks like they are now broadcasting to over 10 million motorists each […]

The SeeSaw Is Gone

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Back in November we wrote ‘SeeSaw Margery Daw, Teeter-Totter’ and it now looks like SeeSaw Networks is definitely toast. Their web site url http://www.seesawnetworks.com no longer resolves. We know that there were a couple of people sniffing around the IP that they had but we don’t believe that there were any bidders for the company […]

First we hear that John Kaminski left last week – John was, for almost four years ‘Installation and Support […]
