Viacom Reiterates Commitment To New Technologies

Viacom Outdoor has announced the appointment of Rashim Abraham to the newly created role of engineering and Technical Director. His brief will include working alongside the XTP team, once a new project supplier is secured and liaising with London Underground regarding technical matters. He will also take charge of new product and site development across rail and bus advertising sites. Abraham previously worked at Clear Channel, where he was an engineering director for four and a half years. Prior to that he worked for NASA space program’s as a design engineer. The appointment reveals Viacom’s continued commitment to the much-anticipated XTP projects, which include the creation of a moving advertising system on the London Underground. The launch of XTP systems has already been put off twice due to a combination of safety issues (see Viacom Outdoor Delays Launch of XTP) and financial problems (see XTP System Will Not Launch This Year).
