The digital out of home business model that sees network operators put screens in retail venues for free, making the investment back through advertising sales, has a long history of failure.

Coca-Cola has had a big sign in NYC’s Times Square for a century, and this week the global brand turned on a new iconic sign billed as the world’s first 3D robotic LED billboard. It has 1,715 moving and 245 static LED cubes, with an overall visual footprint of 240 square meters, which in no metric terms, is approximately a lot. […]
