2008 CES: Consumer Electronics or Consumer Content?

The 2008 Consumer Electronics Show will have a "telecom flavor" with a keynote speech being presented by the CEO of Comcast. Kimberly Johnson looks at how Comcast, and other telecoms, hope to leverage their presence at CES into promotion for their content offerings. An interesting concept for a show that is dedicated to the "consumer electronics" market.

The aspect of Comcast's participation that I liked most was their hopes for their "Comcast Media Center". It seems that Comcast has put a significant investment into their media center and hopes to provide services for content developers that will feed either their own "pipe" or the "pipe" of others. Either way, I like how Comcast has found an related diversification niche and looking to exploit it.

I think CES is not the same since some years ago. I remember those CES from 1993, 1994. Those CES were excellent electronic shows when every company had something to surprise us. Nowadays, it is only a consumer matter.
