ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA(R)) announced today the launch of a new international webpage as an addition to the association's website, www.CE.org. The new resource provides information on breaking industry news across the globe and international technology and policy events.

CEA's International department, created in April 2006, was designed to advance relationships with organizations outside the U.S. and help CEA members navigate international markets.
