Disruptive technologies and new business models are transforming consumer usage of content, services, and connected devices.
Connected entertainment and the smart home open new value propositions for families, including security, management of time and money, convenience, personalization, and choice, and the increase in connected home solutions will lead to innovative business models to engage consumers in new ways.
Energy management will also take up a bigger role in the IoT in 2016 as the combination of affordable solar and residential energy storage will expand its presence in the home.
Pay-TV providers will have to address a growing percentage of “cord nevers” in the U.S. population, and many will launch new services, such as OTT video services that deliver linear TV experiences, to capture these new segments of consumers.
In the mobile and smart home industries, voice control is a key disruptor, creating a new user interface experience for many new connected home solutions.
