Gates' CES Short List

When you’re attending a tradeshow as large as CES, it pays to make a check list of top companies to visit. That’s the approach taken by Bill Gates and this year Tzero was on that list. Shortly after the show opened on January 8, Gates along with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen made a beeline for the Tzero booth in the Central Hall to see the latest in ultra wideband.

While at the booth, Gates and Allen met with Tzero CEO Mike Gulett, and senior vice president of sales and marketing Dan Karr. They saw demonstrations of both wireless high-definition video and wired networking of entertainment content using UWB. After viewing the demonstrations, Gates observed that UWB “has certainly come a long way.”

Coincidentally, Forbes reporter Rachel Rosmarin was also visiting Tzero on Monday morning. You can read her observations at www.forbes.com.
