Abstract
Digital Signage used for the purpose of displaying advertisements, information
and entertainment by means of a networked system of screens, is an application
leading the digital revolution in out-of-home media. Essentially a convergence
of display technology, connectivity and content management, Digital Signage
has drawn the attention of telecom providers, display manufacturers and
arguably advertisers as the "medium of the future" to reach targeted audiences.
The current issues the industry faces are twofold; on one hand, an unproven
return on investment model often leaves even first movers in the dark at some
stage; and secondly, the convergence of multiple technologies makes system
integration and technology selection a key to a sustainable business model.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of Digital Signage operators in all
regions throughout the world. A survey of the operators, consisting of a
structured questionnaire and personal interviews, identified key drivers for
the industry, its current state and the lessons it has learned from various
false starts in the past. In addition to the traditional Internet-based
delivery model, the niche for delivering this medium via satellite is also
identified.

- What are the critical success factors for an advertising-driven business
