New Report Examines the Growing Importance of Home Networks to Global Broadband and Television Providers

DUBLIN, Ireland-(Business Wire)-February 1, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c81350) has announced the addition of Networks in the Home: The Global Service Provider Play to their offering.

As broadband and television operators ramp up enhanced bundled services offerings, in-home connectivity becomes a more critical component. This report examines the role of home networking and managed services in assisting service providers to more effectively monetize their access networks.

"As broadband and television operators in particular seek to differentiate their basic packages and offer new connectivity-related services to their product mix, the demarcation point will move farther inside the home," said Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Parks Associates. "To account for the new services that the broadband carriers will deploy, home networking and customer premise equipment will evolve beyond basic broadband and data sharing to include new voice applications (voice-over-Wi-Fi and/or mobile-to-fixed-line-handoff services) and distributed entertainment."
