Starting this month, CBS will replace five static billboards in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal with smart billboards that can send video to any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device within about 36 feet. According to the story, “CBS will use the technology to send the millions of Grand Central commuters and rail travelers 30-second promotional clips of four new primetime CBS shows, plus CBS staple CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
