Are you involved in the information, communications or entertainment business? Or are you a consumer interested in them, and their products and services? Then welcome to Hot ICE™, your source for video on hot trends and cool products.

We're producers of video for and about the cable TV and consumer electronics industries. Our programs The Cable Channel and The CE Channel air at tradeshows and conferences, and in broadband video. They show interviews with top executives, panel discussions with analysts and journalists, feature stories about what's going on in the business, and more.

The worlds of TV, CE and PCs are converging, as video becomes more widely available on the Net and viewable on devices other than TVs. Not only industry executives, but many consumers as well, want to see and hear about new developments, products and services. That's why we're creating this site, not only to present video that we produce, or which is produced for us by the industry, but also to host videos submitted by consumers showing what they think of new ICE products and how they use them.

Hot ICE. What consumers want and the business needs.
