Parks Associates President Stuart Sikes to Moderate "Home Automation: The New Revenue Generator?" at Cable Congress

Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates, will moderate the session "Home Automation: The New Revenue Generator?" at Cable Congress on Thursday, March 7, 9:30 a.m. in London.

New research from Parks Associates:

23% of U.K. broadband households have an electronic home security system. Less than 20% have one in France and Belgium, while only 6% of German households have a system.

By 2020, the U.K. and Spain will have over 20 million smart meters. France and Germany will exceed 30 million.

One-third of German broadband households prefer a home security company to provide connected home monitoring equipment and services. Utilities are the second-most preferred provider but do not score more than 20% of households among any European country.
