Narrowcasting is in theorie vrij simpel uit te leggen, maar in de praktijk blijkt dat het toch wat lastiger is. Elk bedrijf heeft zo haar eigen doeleinden om narrowcasting in te zetten. Narrowcasting staat naar mijn idee op het punt waar het web 10 jaar geleden stond, onbegrepen, onnodig, etc

Om narrowcasting precies te begrijpen hoe in te zetten kun je vragen verwachten. Een aantal van deze vragen zien er als volgt uit:
- Is it web based? Does it stream or upload to the media player? In other words, does the content reside server side or media player side?
- If the server goes down, will the media players still perform?
- Are you able to display multiple RSS feeds on the screen?
- What type of warranties are there on your hardware and software?
- Can your software incorporate live video streams?
- Does your software and hardware support video wall technology? If so, do you support the third party integration of such an installation?
- Am I required to purchase all the hardware or can I pay for a SaaS (software as a service) solution on a monthly basis?
- What does a demo cost and how long would it last?
- How does your solution integrate with touchscreen applications?
- Can updates to your software be done remotely?
- Do you have remote control of the screens themselves through an RS232 switch? How much control? Have you tested the RS232 capabilities with different displays?
- Are you still in development? What is available now and what will be available in the future?
- What resources do you have to help me with a digital signage pilot project?
- Can you do SMS or RFID integration with the screens?
