RMS Networks Inc vs Broadsign

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We loved the term “Digital Out-of-Home Giant” used in the press release by RMS Networks, Inc to describe Neo Advertising (accurate at least) but suspect that RMS Networks were probably a bit too quick off the mark to announce any big or long term deals with the so-called-swiss-giant. This looks like a North American deal […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We thought we might have been inundated with Olympics related stories these past few weeks but apart from this one from EYE we can’t think of anything else we have received or seen. Mind you if you have been watching the coverage on television have you seen anything at all of the official Olympic sponsors? […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

You keep telling us about digital screen sightings in McDonalds restaurants in London AND our story “Are McDonalds UK Trying Again?” where we wrote (see below) has proved very popular and been something of a talking point… We have noticed new screens in a couple of central McDonald restaurants in London and wonder whether they […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We have tried and failed to get to the bottom of why Pixman Nomadic Media’s share were suspended back on 23rd July, 2008 but alas, no public or private statements from their executive team, no press release and no gossip = nothing!! Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada – Trading Halt – Pixman Nomadic Media […]

Danascreen’s Roadside LED, Kuala Lumpur

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Danascreen describe themselves as an out-of-home advertising specialist so we wonder why, especially when they play in the ‘high impact’ (aka roadside) space AND with giant digital screens that look as GOOD as this (see picture), they want to use the word ‘TV’ on their web site!! At 6.10 metres wide x 4.57 metres high […]
