CTAM Summit 2009: Interview with Paul Liao

Just before the 2009 CTAM Summit, in Denver (on the afternoon of “balloon boy,” in fact), I spoke with incoming CableLabs President and CEO Paul Liao. Liao, who left Panasonic for the CableLabs role, is known for his focus on consumers, and believes that marketing and technology must blend to benefit consumers. Also discussed: What’s new, what’s coming — and what the future holds for CableLabs under his leadership.
