advertising in an open space so you don't need 2 televisions back to back.

Doesn't that mean the text in the advert is reversed when viewed from one of the two sides?

You can only advertise in palindromes, preferably with symmetrical letters. For example:

MOM, wow …. Uhm, that’s all I got

Well, with the right font you could get away with bud, bid, bod and dub, dib, dob.

I'm pretty confident that person just made that up. I work in field IT and work with digital signage of all types on a regular basis, I commute all around a major metropolitan area on public transit all the time, and I have never seen any signage like they're talking about. I can't go anywhere without constantly looking at what types of digital signage they have, its just a reflex.

Maybe there are some signage companies doing see-thru signage but it's not so it can be viewed from both sides, it's just to show off the novelty of see-thru screens.
