Day two opened with a session from Lord Inglewood, Chairman of the House of Lords Select Committee on Communications which explained the Government's strategy, thinking and likely way ahead on the roll-out of superfast broadband. CEDIA's Dave Pedigo next challenged integrators to look to the future and embrace the intuitive home with his presentation, which fed into a talk from Duncan Maiden of Europe's CISCO Academy examining the hugely significant role of IP in the integrated home.
Chris Adams from OFCOM followed with an explanation of 4G and how this new platform would co-exist with other services in the home. Finally, the conference ended on a positive note as Tom Kerber from research company, Parks Associates presented research findings commissioned by CEDIA on the future outlook for the custom installation sector.
