Late 2006 and early 2007 saw a number of UK screen network operators go out of business - AdtechDSN, Smartbox and Cabtivate to name just a few.
I remember at the time, fielding calls from a number of European network owners who looked to the UK as a bellwether for what would [...]

Two years ago I helped win some screen network business with Cisco in Portugal with Caixa Geral de Depositos - CGD is the 2nd largest retail bank in Portugal.
At that time, we were competing against Portugal Telecom; who associated

Traditional Publisher shows confidence in Digital Out of Home

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Wednesday, July 18, 2007 12:22
It’s great to see a traditional media business show confidence in the digital out of home sector, which is exactly what the Telegraaf Media Groep N.V. (TMG) have done, I believe, by increasing their equity stake in Media Librium / Librium TV (in the Netherlands) from 40% to 84%.
