Intel to Bolster Digital Home Networks

January 06, 2004

Although some forecasters have predicted a multibillion-dollar industry in home networking, the actual numbers have been much lower — in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Venture capitalists have been spooked from investing, said Kurt Scherf, vice president of Parks Associates, a market research and consulting firm based in Dallas that specializes in residential technologies.

"I think it's a real boost to a lot of smaller companies in this space," Scherf said.
