The Digital Home Highway to feature latest consumer
and industry analysis at International CES 2005
Parks Associates today released the agenda for its pre-show workshop,
The
Digital Home Highway, to be held on January 5, 2005, at International
CES 2005. This workshop, presented by Parks Associates’ expert analysts,
will provide consumer data, insight, and analysis on broadband services,
multimedia applications and platforms, on-demand content, digital rights
management (DRM), and the connected consumer.
Parks Associates’ year-end 2004 guidance indicates that broadband
penetration among U.S. households will have reached approximately 33
million, and 17 million U.S. households will have a home data network.
Further, Parks Associates estimates that nearly two million U.S.
households are using home networking equipment offered by their broadband
service provider.
“Product developers and operators are rightfully optimistic about the
opportunities for digital home and mobile applications in 2005,” said
Kurt Scherf,
vice president and principal analyst for Parks Associates. “The
integration between content services – voice, video, data, and value-added
applications – and digital products will be a significant theme at the
2005 International CES and will generate substantial momentum for these
markets in the next year.”
In addition, key industry leaders will be participating in the
workshop, including a special Leadership panel. The following executives

The
Digital Home Highway throughout the day:
