The interactive panel session, moderated by Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates and sponsored by Icontrol Networks, examines how services and technologies are impacting the smart home and connected consumer. The panel addresses the complex relationship between the device and service ecosystems and explores whether one needs the other to integrate successfully into the smart home. Parks Associates research shows nearly 50% of U.S. broadband households plan to buy a smart home product in 2016, and two-thirds already have at least one Internet-connected entertainment device.
