Digest #263
 
Do you have your tickets for Titans of Tech? This 3rd annual event is coming up on January 17 at The Dream Inn. I'm honored to be one of the speakers this year, along with a whole host of other locals.

In case you missed my annual look back at news of the last year, see SCTB Highlights of 2018.

I took some time off over the holidays so the articles below are a collection of news from the past couple weeks, including two from pundit Steve Blum. In anticipation of #CES2019, Steve writes about five technologies and prototypes that "will offer clues to what our world will be in 2067." In a second article, Steve writes about five major broadband issues that will top the public priority charts in California and at the federal level in 2019. 
   
As usual, there's more! Scroll down and starting reading.
