Interesting comment from several of our readers, including a certain Senor Luis Villafane from Maler DSO who tells us that he “just visited the Nanolumens website and saw that the CBS Projection Systems on the London Underground on Baker Street were changed to their technology.” The flash page of www.nanolumens.com clearly shows Baker Street tube […]

Why an industry event centred on […]

Probably between 350 and 400 people at the Marriott Marquis hotel here in NYC for the one day DPAA Media Summit… It was standing room only at the back. Hats off to DPAA for the free wi-fi and the very visible twitter wall on stage left.
