“Digital Signage,” a frequently-used, all encompassing descriptor, reflects the economies of a fully digital supply chain for media creation, management, connectivity and presentation. Terms such as “electronic display networks,” “video networks” and “private media channel” have been used to describe the technology infrastructure. In seeking its place in advertising plans and budgets, other descriptors have been used. “Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH)” generally describes ad-based networks seeking out-of-home ads, “In-store TV” sought a share of TV/broadcast ad spending and in being called “the Outernet,” the medium has tapped into Internet ad budgets.
