I am not sure why you singled out one of the two CCD inventors.

Heard the news on the radio, and from the way the sentences
were strung together I got the impression that only one name
was connected to the CCD.
So a warm congrats to the other guy too!
The second half of the Nobel prize should be celebrated by all
internet users.
Indeed! And by those who like fancy indoor lighting.
The 3rd guy to share the prize for physics, Professor Charles Kao, studied
here in Greenwich at Woolwich Polytechnic, now part of Greenwich University.
He won it for his work which led to the development of fibre optics. Thanks
to him NASA doesn't have to send rocket ships up to the Hubble telescope
every couple of hours to collect the film.

Instead, they ran a really long fibre optic link from the Earth up to
the Hubble ... um, wait ...
