It's not just FCC Chairman Ajit Pai who'll back out of CES as a result
of the US government shutdown. The Consumer Technology Association has
confirmed that at least ten government officials have cancelled their
speaking engagements at the technology trade show "so far." It's not
just FCC representatives like Pai or his compatriot Brendan Carr,
either. The FTC's Rohit Chopra and Rebecca Slaughter (shown above) have
backed out, as have officials from the EPA (Brandon Bray and Barnes
Johnson), FDA (Bakul Patel), FEMA (Daniel Kaniewski) and Homeland
Security (Andre Hentz).
The exits aren't surprising. However, they do leave the government disconnected from the technology industry and its signature event. While it has already been clear where some officials stand on key tech issues, the cancellations prevent them from updating their views, speaking out for the first time or otherwise engaging with the industry in a very public fashion. You might have to wait a long while before there's another intersection of American government and the tech world.
