Does ICE only apply to E-commerce business networks?
TNo. ICE is intended to become a standard for the controlled exchange of information and electronic assets among business partners in a wide-range of markets and industries. E-commerce is an obviously a promising market for ICE, but the standard can have the same impact for online corporate extranets, value-added reseller networks, and syndicated publishing networks, to just name a few. ICE is applicable to any business that places a high-value on its electronic assets, business relationships and competitive advantage.
