Our Perspective on Self-Service
The Return of the BT Internet Kiosk
The latest iteration of the British Telecom internet kiosk aka Smart City DOOH Display. Looks like they gave up on transactions. What’s next for digital signage solution providers? 22Miles and Panasonic tell us. McDonalds McAI seems to be working 85% of the time. Our big feature this month is on digital signage solutions (Go Big or Go Home). Ten different companies contributed. Pretty good crunchbase article on retail and restaurant automation.
We also now maintain a Legal News log with opinion. McDonalds and Wendys are big newsmakers this week. In addition we now have a dedicated page for Assistive Technology.

About Us
Who We Are
The best kiosk manufacturer resource with over 500 kiosk companies. The main members plus the free industry list.
The Kiosk Industry Group is the news engine for the Kiosk Manufacturer Association or KMA which is a global organization focused on delivering better self-service for customers and employees through kiosks and touchscreen technology. Regulatory directives include ADA and Accessibility as well as PCI Compliance. We meet with U.S. Access Board regularly and are a Participating Organization with PCI SSC.
The Kiosk Industry Group is the news and marketing website for the kiosk association. Our point of view is a combination of sponsors, members and the kiosk association. We are funded by those companies for the benefit of client companies interested in self-service, kiosks, thin or internet terminals and POS systems. Those client companies include UPS, Best Buy, NCR, the SSA and many other city and state entities deploying kiosks, digital signage, smart city and POS, and wanting to avoid past mistakes.
We began in 1997 and coming up on our 25th anniversary. We have co-founded commercial portal marketing sites such as Kiosk Marketplace in our history.
