participating.
CONNECTIONS™
Europe, produced by Parks Associates in partnership with
the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®), is an executive
conference focused on the global market for advanced digital
lifestyle solutions.
Topics for 2007 include services, equipment and hardware,
and emerging areas for future opportunities:
- IPTV: Business models, consumer segmentation, &
forecasts by region
- Remote Self Monitoring: Incremental vs. Core Revenues
- Mobile Entertainment: Shift from portable to mobile
video and TV

Recent research from Parks Associates indicates the number
of IPTV subscribers will reach nearly 60 million worldwide by
year-end 2011. Television choices for European consumers in
particular will expand greatly in the next several years, due
to a growing number of IPTV providers per country, a surge in
digital terrestrial offerings, and a resurgence of cable
providers in certain markets.
“On many levels, digital home business cases on the
European continent are indicative of things to come worldwide
for service providers and manufacturers,” said
Kurt
Scherf, vice president and principal analyst, Parks
Associates. “Europe holds a great deal of promise and insight
into the next developments in the digital lifestyle space, and
we’re pleased to be hosting
CONNECTIONS™ Europe
to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and business cases
for these growing markets.”
