Home Networking's New Push

October 06, 2002

A study by Parks Associates, a Dallas-based consulting and research firm, estimates that about 20% of new homes built this year will contain some kind of "structured wiring" for computer networking, entertainment, and other uses. The study found that high-speed Internet access throughout the house ranks as the most popular reason for structured wiring, followed by monitored security systems, and then the ability to play music from one stereo system in several rooms.

From the article "Home Networking's New Push," by Arik Hesseldahl.
