Announcing a new web site:

Videomaker's Camcorder & Desktop Video Site is located at 
http://www.videomaker.com
 
Videomaker provides expert advice for making better videos, from 
selecting the right camcorder and accessories, to shooting techniques, 
to starting your own business in video production. Videomaker will help 
you understand desktop video editing and making your own MPEG movies.

Videomaker Inc. is a content provider specializing in information on 
videomaking. Our mission is to democratize and enrich television by 
educating, inspiring, and informing end users. We strive for excellence 
as information providers on the topics of video production, distribution, 
and viewing to users and providers of video technology.

We achieve these goals through publishing magazines, newsletters and 
books, producing television programs, videotapes and compact disks, 
conducting expositions, and administering on-line services.

Videomaker publishes The Cable Leased Access Report, which follows the 
developments in the non-discriminatory access to the Information 
Superhighway. 

In the dark ages of TV there was only one way to get a show on the air. 
You had to sell it to one of a very few broadcasters or broadcast 
networks. The result? Out of millions of shows imagined by producers, 
only thousands have seen the light of day. The explosion of channel 
capacity, by way of new satellite and cable technologies, has changed 
all that. The FCC requires cable operators to set aside a certain 
amount of channel capacity for leasing and the telephone systems want 
to carry video into the home the same way they do sound. They want to 
deliver it on a "nondiscriminatory" basis. That means they'll lease 
their capacity to all comers.  The Dark Ages are drawing to a close. 
Today you can lease time on one of the channels set aside for the purpose 
by a cable operator. Soon, you may even buy air time from telephone 
companies. Once you've got the time, you can put your own program on the 
air. Better yet: sell ads on your show to generate advertising revenue.
