Turns out that the covert sales mission to Cebit that MediaLive undertook earlier this month was only to benefit a 2006 edition of "Comdex".

The organiser had already decided to axe the 2005 edition of the trade show by January. At least, that's when the Las Vegas Convention Center cancelled the reservation for the event.

If the show resurfaces, it won't be called Comdex, according to the sales pitches that MediaLive used on exhibitors at the Cebit trade fair in Hannover earlier this month – but it still isn't know what the name for the event will be.
