CEA on Thursday hailed President Barack Obama’s appointment of Megan Smith as U.S. chief technology officer and Alexander Macgillivray as deputy CTO. “Smith became known for pursuing next-generation projects such as balloon-borne Internet service, drone delivery and solar-powered automobiles” while at Google, CEA President Gary Shapiro said. Macgillivray is a “well-known advocate for an open and uncensored Internet” based on his time at Google and Twitter, Shapiro said.
