Dallas, Texas, May 8, 2008 - Parks Associates today announced Enure Networks, MoCA, support.com, and Motorola as Advisory Sponsors for CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit, taking place May 19, 2008, in cooperation with TM Forum’s Management World 2008 in Nice, France.

The CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit in Nice, at the Hotel Palais de La Mediterranee, will address the new challenges and opportunities for service providers in today’s hyper-competitive worldwide market. Research from Parks Associates indicates service providers will supply over 70 million households worldwide with residential gateways by 2012.

“Service providers have to differentiate to stay competitive,” said Kurt Scherf, vice president, principal analyst, Parks Associates. “That means home networking, residential gateways, support and mobile services, IPTV, and more. With our excellent lineup of executive speakers and sponsors, CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit will examine and showcase many of the options for providers as the service landscape gets more crowded and competitive.”

Enure Networks, Motorola, the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA™), and support.com are Advisory Sponsors for the 2008 CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit Series. The Home Gateway Initiative (HGI) is a Platinum Supporting Organization, and CE-Business, ChannelPartner, HiddenWires, and Home Toys are Platinum Supporting Media.

TV Services in Europe: Update and Outlook, a free white paper from Parks Associates, highlights the growth of telco/IPTV services worldwide. Between 2006 and 2007, Europe experienced a 250% growth rate in the number of households using telco/IPTV services.
