Dallas, Texas September 2, 2008 – With the
conclusion of the CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit in
Berlin, event host and international research firm Parks Associates
announced today the next Summit will
take place in Nice, France, on March 31, 2009.
CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit ended on August 29
following a day of strategic sessions with speakers, sponsors, and
attendees representing over 60 companies, organizations, and media
firms. Parks Associates analysts moderated all sessions, which focused
on growth opportunities for new media and entertainment products,
services, and applications.
The next CONNECTIONS™
Europe Summit will take place March 31, 2009, at the
Hotel Palais de La Mediterranee in
Nice, France. This Spring summit will feature keynote speaker
Roger Pitton, Program
Director, TV Business, Microsoft Corporation, who will discuss

customers.”

“The rise in broadband and home networking is a phenomenon
across Europe,” said Kurt
Scherf, vice president, principal analyst, Parks Associates. “Service
providers are driving this growth and will provide more than 70 million
homes worldwide with a residential gateway solution by 2012. Now they are
looking to deploy advanced services, such as digital and mobile
television, and the regulatory environment can help or hinder these
efforts.”
In the white paper
“No Way to Regulate: Mobile TV in Europe,” Parks Associates argues
that recent regulations hurt efforts to deploy mobile TV services. This
paper is available as a free download at
www.connectionseurope.com,
along with white papers “TV Services in Europe: Update and Outlook” and
“Europe: Home Network Update.”
CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit in Berlin also featured
