Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Bill Gerba’s Wirespring business and technology has been in Wal-Mart Mexico for some time so unless we have misunderstood the situation it’s interesting to see here what looks like PRN completely taking over operations of the network.

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

This may be large, okay VERY large – it’s 35 metres long x 20 metres high but it can ONLY be seen at night so whilst it looks great we really don’t think it can be rated as the largest commercial screen in Europe – that honour still MOST DEFINITELY falls to Ocean Outdoor’ screen […]
