Probably this is partially caused by the up to 10,000 accredited journalists they have had a previous shows - including many with "fake" credentials. This however is no excuse for excluding bloggers. I guess it's just too hard for them to grasp and verify the validity of each and every application, but it's not a policy that will do them any good. PS: If anybody is going to CeBIT, make sure to stay in the evenings and check http://www.messeparty.net/ they list the parties at CeBIT, which used to be amazing.

CES had just enabled a slew of people to cover the show very effectively bringing quite a bit of news from the floor to our attention.
