Clear Channel Plans To Roll Out Digital Billboards

Posted by timothy on from the bluescreen-photo-ops dept.

Tree131 writes "Just in case you don't have enough distractions driving on the highway, Clear Channel is planning to roll out digital billboards. The new billboards will feature ads that depend on the time of day as well as the general area demographics. I wonder how long before someone with lots of time on their hands hacks into the system and starts tampering with the messages."

  3. Why do you think they call them BillBoards, anyway by rjamestaylor · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Digital BillBoards. Running Windows. Why else would they be called BillBoards, anyway?

    But they're not new. There was a big one heading in to Seattle back in '98. And in Vegas I saw the digital marquee at the convention center with the Win2k Login screen saver bouncing around it. Really sad.

    Imagine how many car crashes this is going to be responsible for. It will be like trying to watch TV and drive at the same time. Yay.
