Residential Gateways to Soar," by allNetDevices Staff

There will be 25 million residential gateways by 2005, according to a new study by Parks Associates.

"Every home in the U.S. will have at least one gateway, including either narrow- or broadband connections, by 2010," said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research at Parks Associates.

The Company notes that organizations such as the new Internet Home Alliance will spur consumer acceptance of home devices and gateways.

"It is clear that volume for the category at large will outpace PCs within a few short years," said Tricia Parks, president of Parks Associates.
