New Age Homemaker

July 02, 2000

"Toasters probably won't have much to say," says Walker [CEO of Home Director Inc.], straight-faced, but that is a technical point, and she can't help herself because she is an engineer. Anyway, of the 1.5 million houses built last year, 120,000 got basic network wiring installed in the walls. Home Director wired 10,000 of those, at an average cost of $1,200 a home. That sounds tiny, but industry consultants Parks Associates in Dallas, Texas, see 2.5 million networked homes at roughly $1,000 a home come 2004.
