Comcast And Alarm.com Reportedly In Talks To Acquire Icontrol

Tom Kerber, director of research for Parks Associates, who emphasized that he had no knowledge of whether the deal will actually come to pass, spoke to SSN about the potential impact of the deal.

Kerber believes the time is right for Icontrol to either sell or do an IPO. “Their growth rate is maxing out internally. They’re at a hockey stick. This is the time for an exit,” he said.
