This weekend The Communicators begins a series of interviews taped at the CES International, a show sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association last week in Las Vegas. The interviews highlight some of the newest developments in TV and communications and consumer technology, as well as policy issues flowing from them. The Communicators talked with technology industry leaders, policymakers and legislators, and with innovators showing technology products set to be unveiled this year.
This week, interviews with the Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association; with Ajit Pai, an FCC Commissioner; and a look at one of most popular booths at the show, MakerBot, a 3-D printing company that has printed (or replicated) prosthetic fingers for someone in Africa, among other things.
