Last month the 2010 Cable Show took center stage at the LA Convention Center giving top executives from cable operators, content producers, distribution networks and technology companies a chance to get together and explore the continually evolving industry. Of course a bevy of cable celebrities were also there to provide entertainment including The Kardashian’s, Omorosa, Hulk Hogan and many more. You should have seen the lines for pictures!
Scott Seward, our President, and I attended to support our partners and keep tabs on the latest developments in the cable industry. One particularly hot topic this year was EBIF, the industry supported Enhanced Binary Interchange Format being integrated into Comcast’s Xfinity Remote and other devices. There was also a lively general session that brought together CEOs of from top cable, tech and entertainment companies for a discussion on evolving business models. The panel emphasized the importance of ensuring that technology not be a barrier to content creators. If you missed the show, don’t fret: many of the individual sessions are recapped on the Cable Show Blog.
