As usual, we are getting great press in the MIPCOM Daily News. Today’s headline reads “DVDs all the rage at MIPCOM” The article then states “ This market will have a decidedly DVD feel. Firstly, the US’ DVD Association–sponsored DVD Club returns to the Palais’ level 3 allowing delegates to do business in a dedicated environment. ‘It’s a place where delegates can learn more about the art of DVD (including information about the next generation of High Definition DVDs) and at the same time relax in one of the Palais’ most scenic areas,” says DVDA President Bernie Mitchell.

And of course we are all gearing up for tomorrow’s gala MIPCOM 2005 DVD Awards ceremony. It will be quite a bash.

More to come...
