IP Democracy: Information Overload - CES, MacWorld, Citigroup

Just a general note of frustration about the overabundance of high-profile events occurring simultaneously. Not only is CES, the four-day, 150,000-attendee tech and entertainment blow-out fest, taking place today, but also MacWorld kicks into gear with several big announcements (iTV, iPhone) rumored to be on the agenda.

On top of that, Citigroup is holding its 17th Annual Entertainment, Media & Telecommunications Conference today and tomorrow (also in Las Vegas - easier on the chieftains that way) which will feature agenda-setting presentations from all the poobahs of the telco, tech, cable and entertainment businesses.

I always get a kick out of the fact that people in the communications industries are, well, communicators — love to talk, love to meet, love to consume and share information — and this is a week when everybody in the broader business of delivering information and entertainment is clearly talking, meeting, consuming and sharing at what may be an unprecedented level.
