Whoa! This is big, Bob. I'd have expected Sony and Canon to make an announcement instead of quietly stepping away. You're right that none of this is CES/CTA's fault. They just happen to be the very first major global event of the calendar. Events further down the road, the Governor's Awards (Jan 16), World Economic Forum (Jan 17-21) and other have postponed. I guess CES feels postponement is impossible.
