hat a wild ride 2011 was for the consumer technology industry!
Driven by incredible innovation, for the first time in 2012 factory
sales of consumer electronics will exceed $200 billion annually. The
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® represents the more than
2,000 companies that develop, market, promote and sell the products
and services that entertain, inform and connect consumers.
CEA continues its mission to grow the industry by providing research,
support and standards, by working with legislators and regulators to
provide a level playing field for the competitive global marketplace and
to stage the premiere tradeshow for our industry and its products – the
International CES – as well as events throughout the year.
legislation. History will mark the defeat of SOPA and PIPA as a defining
moment.
We also are gratified by Washington’s growing recognition of the
looming spectrum shortage, and by efforts to make more wireless
spectrum available. As part of a budget compromise, Congress included
language authorizing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
to hold voluntary incentive spectrum auctions. By doing so, Congress
has helped to advance our nation’s ability to innovate, create jobs of the
future and meet the needs of 21st Century wireless networks.
Legislative Milestones
The industry also enjoyed another big win. In spring 2011, the Senate
Judiciary Committee unanimously passed well-meaning but misguided
legislation that sought to combat digital piracy — a very real problem.
Only Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) objected and his filibuster threat
prevented Senate passage. And then an amazing thing happened –
the people spoke. Responding to the bipartisan outpouring of public
opposition from millions of constituents, Congress abandoned the
Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate’s Protect IP Act (PIPA)
2
At the FCC, we will work on the development and implementation of
new accessibility rules. Last year, Congress passed the 21st Century
Communications and Video Accessibility Act that expands current
law on telecommunications access to advanced communications
services and equipment and includes a vast range of our members’
products. The FCC has begun the rulemaking process, and the threat of
burdensome mandates remains high. Those rules will be finalized by
the end of 2012.
On trade issues, our agenda remains ambitious. A benefit of the
free trade agreements is that many members of Congress are now
officially on the record as supporting open international markets.
We will continue this momentum by leading the process to revise the
Information Technology Agreement (ITA) to dramatically lower global
tariffs for our products. The process could phase out tariffs on products
vital to the CE industry in dozens of nations.
Last year our country faced challenges including an ailing Europe, a
slowing Asia, an unstable mid-East, an onslaught of natural disasters
and civil war in many countries. The U.S. economy also experienced
high unemployment and out of control government spending.
However despite these hurdles, we had a good year in tech policy. After
years of effort, free trade agreements with Colombia, Korea and Panama
were passed by a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate, and
signed by President Obama. These agreements keep the free trade bill
rolling and open foreign markets for our products, strengthening our
industry and the U.S. economy.
mandates that harm innovation, and we’ll redouble our efforts to push
a regulatory reform bill in California that would force the California
Energy Commission to act in a more responsible manner.
While the conventional wisdom is that little gets done in an election
year, we expect tech issues to remain at the forefront. CEA has pushed
for bills easing companies’ efforts to raise funding and hire skilled
immigrants. We are seeing momentum on both. CEA will continue to
promote sensible, consumer friendly recycling. The industry has united
around the eCycling Leadership Initiative and has committed to recycle
one billion pounds of consumer electronics annually by 2016 and also
to advocate for private-sector driven recycling bills at the state and
national level.
We also expect a challenging agenda on energy efficiency issues and
will work closely with Congress to fix changes to the ENERGY STAR
program that make it less valuable and more costly to our members.
We will continue to oppose state energy and end-of-life electronics
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®
Despite being an election year, tech will remain at the top of Congress’
priority list. We expect that issues surrounding privacy of consumer
data will become a Congressional priority. CEA has formed a Privacy
Working Group under the auspices of its Government Affairs Council
which we expect to be very active. Intellectual property issues also will
continue to be in the spotlight. On patents, we will support efforts to
end forum shopping and put the “patent trolls” out of business. On
copyrights, we will advocate for targeted efforts to address foreign
“rogue sites” while resisting overreaching legislation that would harm
legitimate innovators or Web-based businesses.
Another important issue for CEA is the collection of Internet sales
tax to level the field for retailers. The first hurdle is recognizing that

collecting sales tax on Internet purchases is not a new tax. It is merely
pro-innovation workplace rules and reducing the deficit. Economic
growth will solve many of our nation’s problems. That’s why at CEA
we relentlessly promote policies which encourage innovation. Join the
Innovation Movement at DeclareInnovation.com and help us build
a strong, pro-innovation America.
how an existing tax is collected. The second hurdle is to understand
the magnitude of this problem and that it is growing exponentially.
The third hurdle is that this issue can be solved with a simple vote of
Congress to allow states to legislate remote sales tax collection. Sales
tax revenue can represent more than half of a state’s incoming revenue.
We also see great promise with 4K video, robotics, wireless, digital
health and automotive electronics. Our industry and your association
strives to be at the forefront of change and growth and we recognize
and appreciate your contributions to our success.
Continued consumer sales tax evasion will make balancing state fiscal
budgets impossible. This is an example of our country’s laws not
keeping pace with technology.
To make your companies’ voice heard in Washington, consider joining
CEAPAC, CEA’s Political Action Committee (PAC) that represents CEA
members. CEAPAC supports political candidates through financial
contributions and works to ensure that CEA remains the primary voice
on issues critical to our industry.

he consumer technology industry has a strong ally on public
policy issues in Washington. Throughout the year, as government

ENERGY STAR Program
Leadership Initiative also seeks to improve consumer awareness of
CEA and its Innovation Movement focus on policy issues crucial to
innovation such as:
Free Trade Agreements
CEA has long supported ENERGY STAR as the most effective and
proactive program to encourage consumers to make more energyconscious choices. Home electronics are responsible for the energy
savings achieved by the program for residential products according
to an EPA report. CEA is concerned, however, that EPA’s recently
mandated changes to ENERGY STAR are creating unreasonable
burdens for partners and harming international expansion of the
program.
Spectrum and Mobile Broadband
CEA believes that in the 21st century economy, spectrum is the oxygen
of innovation. CEA strongly supports legislative efforts to authorize
the FCC to conduct voluntary incentive auctions to secure 500 MHz of
additional spectrum for broadband services and address the looming
spectrum shortfall. More, CEA believes that any additional spectrum
should be available for both licensed and unlicensed use. In early 2012,
Congress passed and the President signed a law allowing voluntary
auctions. CEA will be focusing on ensuring that the law is upheld and
supporting efforts to reclaim additional spectrum.
the more than 5,000 collection sites currently sponsored by industry,
increase the amount of electronics recycled responsibly, increase the
number of collection opportunities available and provide transparent
metrics on eCycling efforts.
CEA supports the aggressive expansion of free trade, and played a key
role in the recent passage of free trade agreements with Colombia,
Korea and Panama. These agreements will open new markets to
U.S. products, create American jobs and increase America’s global
competitiveness. We are now advocating for the expansion of the
Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which will result in the
lowering of tariffs on a variety of our products.
Skilled Immigration Reform
Innovative immigrants have always been and will continue to be
central to America’s growth, job creation and global competitiveness.
CEA supports skilled immigration policies to attract the best and the
brightest to the United States, such as H1B visa reform that would
enable foreign graduates of U.S. schools to become American employees
and add to the wealth of this nation; a quick path to citizenship for
entrepreneurs; and the creation of criteria and process for granting
citizenship to qualified immigrants.
Energy Efficiency
Voluntary, market-oriented programs and initiatives, including
industry-led standards, are a proven and successful approach to

Online Infringement
CEA supports strong intellectual property enforcement, and balanced
intellectual property law, that protects the rights of authors and
inventors while preserving and encouraging innovation. CEA
members share concerns about theft of intellectual property, including
trademarks, patents and copyrights. However, it is important to ensure
that anti-infringement efforts do not inadvertently ensnare legitimate
manufacturers, retailers and online service providers. CEA helped
initiate and lead the opposition to the so-called Internet piracy bills
(COICA, SOPA and PIPA). We believe that the OPEN Act, co-sponsored
by Rep. Darrell Issa, offers a targeted and effective way to stop online
infringers without doing inadvertent collateral damage to innovation.
Accessibility
CEA supports industry-driven solutions to ensure that innovative
technologies and services are accessible to consumers with disabilities.
CEA is working actively with the FCC as it implements the 21st Century
Video and Communications Accessibility Act of 2010 and supports
regulations that balance the twin goals of promoting accessibility and
preserving continued innovation.

echnical standards provide a road map for CE manufacturers
to establish compatibility between devices. Like a map, they also
provide an idea of where the industry is headed. Interoperability is a
linchpin in the success and acceptance of new technologies, and it is
established by collaboration between manufacturers via a standardssetting body.
CEA’s Technology & Standards (T&S) department works year-round
to foster such collaboration, through working groups and standardsfocused events. These gatherings offer manufacturers the opportunity
to test and tweak technologies to make sure the best become industry
standards. This migration path enhances the opportunity for
new technologies to achieve widespread market deployment and
interoperability with enabling products and services.
The rapid pace of innovation drives CEA to constantly look at new
developments that will benefit from the standards-setting process.
This year a host of new projects initiated in T&S, related to the latest
technologies, promise to fuel future industry growth.
Wireless Power
CEA’s Wireless Power Subcommittee published CEA-2042.1: Wireless
Power Glossary of Terms in 2011 and is working on standards on
methods of measurement for efficiency and standby power, highly
resonant wireless power systems, and tightly coupled wireless power
transfer. It also is working on a technical report on wireless power in
TC100.
3DTV Technology and Energy Consumption Discovery Group
The Department of Energy (DOE) and other stakeholders have
expressed a strong interest in power consumption measurements for
the 3D mode of operation of televisions. The DOE and its consultants
have been active participants in ongoing efforts to revise CEA’s
standard on TV energy measurement. In order to continue work on
12
the TV measurement standard, and not slow its development while
investigating energy characteristics of 3D mode, CEA established a
3DTV Technology and Energy Consumption Discovery Group in parallel
with the standards efforts.
The discovery group is charged with investigating the state of
3D television technology and its effects on energy consumption.
Specifically, the group reviewed the market for 3D content, 3D
television sales and expected usage in 3D mode; reviewed the various
3D technologies likely to gain market acceptance; and documented
the challenges for producing accurate, repeatable measurement of
energy consumption for 3DTV. The recommendations of the Discovery
Group will be forwarded to CEA’s Technology and Standards Council for
further action.
Standards to Promote the Accessibility of
CE Products and Services
CEA established a standards working group to develop an ANSI/
CEA standard specifying a round tactile feedback feature to help
the visually impaired orient themselves on devices such as a remote
control. This working group is the latest activity that CEA has been
engaged in to help make CE products and services more accessible
to people with disabilities. The group is unique to CEA in that it has
participation from a large number of users who will benefit directly
from enhanced accessibility. With its first standard completed, the
working group is now studying standardization opportunities related to
improving accessibility of video-related CE products. It has received 64
contributions for potential study topics collected over three months and
six meetings. The group expects to prioritize its findings and suggest
further activity for consideration.
for measuring energy consumption of televisions, and on updating
two existing CEA standards for measuring energy consumption of
set-top boxes. As part of this effort CEA undertook a survey of lighting
levels in consumers’ homes. The survey is the largest such study in the
world and has provided valuable insight on lighting conditions. The
information will guide the rewrite of the TV measurement standard and
help account for the energy saving benefits of the automatic brightness
control feature found on many TVs.

Using Standards to Address National Challenges
Technical standards play an increasingly important role as federal
agencies tackle a range of pressing priorities, such as smart grid, health
information technology, cyber security and emergency communications.
It has long been government policy that federal agencies must look
to voluntary consensus standards, like those written by CEA, to meet
these needs. It is more important than ever that federal agencies work
effectively with the private sector to ensure that meaningful standards
can be in place to meet urgent national needs.
The federal government has established a subcommittee on standards
under the National Science and Technology Council’s Committee on
Technology. This interagency group provides high-level leadership,
so federal agencies are strategically focused and actively engaged on
critical standards-related issues.
CEA has been engaged with this new committee advocating for
targeted participation by Federal agencies’ in standards development,
encouraging dialogue with our trading partners to eliminate non-tariff
barriers to trade through the use of international standards as the basis
for technical regulations, and promoting the use of the private sector
led standards-setting system to achieve growth of U.S. leadership and
innovation on the global stage.
Tech Events
CEA hosts the Technology & Standards Forums to bring together
the experts and leaders of the technical committees that develop the

develop and finalize crucial CE standards using CEA’s streamlined
standards development process which is accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Participants also learn from developers who share their insider
knowledge on emerging technologies. This process allows the industry
to establish technology development roadmaps from a variety of
perspectives, and ensures that experts can employ their knowledge
to address the complex problems typical of early, cutting-edge
technologies.
CEA’s PlugFest events help the industry migrate from standards on
paper to products that work together. Hundreds of designers and
engineers bring early development products to these CEA sponsored
events. CEA PlugFests focus on product connectivity and
interoperability. They encourage manufacturers to come together and
test interfaces in a semi-private, round-robin fashion. Designers can
sort out connectivity issues between different manufacturers before
products get into consumers’ hands. Recent PlugFests have focused on
CEA-861 (HDMI/HDCP) interfaces and the ATSC A/153 Mobile DTV
standard.

TV Apps Developer University
Apps on TVs (smart TVs) have the potential to disrupt the entire media
consumption landscape. TV OEMs are launching their own frameworks
to deploy apps on their TVs much like mobile phone makers have done.
CEA’s TV Apps Developer University is a series of hands-on training
and information events designed to provide independent developers,
start-ups, software developers, content publishers, media companies
and others the skills to deploy TV apps for their content, games and
more. The TV Apps Developer University event is unique as it allows
third-party developers to come together and learn about multiple TV
platforms in the market, thereby creating scale and efficiencies for both
developers and TV OEM and platform vendors.

O
ne way that CEA helps grow the consumer technology industry
is by educating consumers and the media about new products,
services and technologies. Promotional campaigns support product
categories such as audio, home networking, digital imaging,
automotive electronics, wireless communications, accessories and
HDTV as well as the latest trends like 3DTV, connected cars, tablets,
smartphones and digital health devices that consumers want to learn
more about. News releases, radio and television media tours, media
forums, social media, online videos and a team of spokespeople keep
the consumer technology industry in the news.
grew the active base of Americans around CEA’s key policy issues, along
with energizing and engaging members to take action on behalf of CEA.
To secure CEA’s position as a thought leader on Capitol Hill and beyond,
Gary Shapiro became a regular contributor to Forbes, Huffington Post
and the Daily Caller. Through his byline, Shapiro continues the call
for America to return innovation to its rightful place at the center of
America’s economic policy that he laid out in CEA’s 2011 book
The Comeback: How Innovation Will Restore the American Dream.

CEA member companies can participate in these promotional programs
as a benefit of their membership. CEA promotional activities include:
The Innovation Movement
CEA’s Innovation Movement
(DeclareInnovation.com) is open to all Americans who believe that
innovation is the backbone of our economy and the foundation
of our future prosperity. In 2011, Innovation Movement members
advocated for pro-innovation, pro-business policies, namely federal
deficit reduction, skilled immigration reform, ubiquitous broadband
development, freedom to innovate and free trade agreements.
To educate policymakers about the key pro-business policy issues in
2011, CEA created the first-ever video-in-print brochure designed for
lawmakers and key political influencers. The video brochure helped
break through the clutter of typical Hill visit leave-behinds through the
use of multisensory technology – with six embedded videos – to discuss
CEA’s Innovation Movement.
In June 2011, CEA kicked off a Declaration of Innovation campaign to
raise awareness of the organization as a leader in innovation policy in
Washington and beyond. The campaign involved advertising, public
relations and social media outreach. The Declaration of Innovation
