International research firm Parks Associates invites media to attend the 17th-annual CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference at CTIA, May 20-23, in the Murano Rooms on the third floor of the Venetian Hotel, directly above the CTIA sessions.

CONNECTIONS™ features interactive panel sessions focused on new roles for service providers, new monetization strategies for connected devices and smart TVs, digital content for multiple platforms, and value-added services. The conference also has keynotes from AT&T, Samsung, Starz, and Parks Associates.

Parks Associates research shows there will be over 200 million smartphone users in the U.S. by year-end 2013 and 66% of U.S. broadband households will have a tablet by the end of this year. The number of people in North America who watch mobile video and TV shows on mobile devices (smartphone or tablet) at least weekly will increase from 63 million in 2012 to 173 million in 2017.
