An FCC spokesman for Mr. Pai would not offer any additional details about the CES cancellation to CNBC, noting the FCC does not comment on security measures or concerns.
A spokeswoman at the Consumer Technology Association, which hosts CES, also declined comment, but CTA President and CEO Gary Shapiro was not aware of Mr. Pai’s change in plans. However, Mr. Shapiro had acknowledged the fact Mr. Pai had been “subject to vicious and direct attacks and threats,” according to Digital Trends.
