Parks Associates Addresses Connected CE, Digital Home Support, Controls, and Advanced Media and Services at CONNECTIONS

RedOrbit"This year's event is especially important given the current economy," said Kurt Scherf, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Parks Associates. "Over 60% of U.S. Internet households indicated they would cut out-of-home expenses first, including travel and dining, and we are already seeing these changes, with 35% now watching fewer movies in the theater compared to two years ago. This recessionary shift in consumer habits could benefit service providers and CE companies, provided they are focused on bringing new entertainment experiences to the home. CONNECTIONS(TM) will focus on these opportunities as consumer spending shifts to in-home entertainment and services."
