Finding A Place For Wireless In The Smart Home

"Smart home products and service providers are looking for mass market channels for distribution," said Harry Wang, senior director of research at Parks Associates, via email. "U.S. carriers' consumer reach through their retail stores and marketing machine, along with their ability to bundle services together, can be attractive asset to the smart home industry. If Sprint can bundle Amazon Prime membership with its wireless service plans, carriers can bundle smart home services as well."
