Home Networks in Europe: A Growing Opportunity
Growth in Broadband and Communications Solutions Seen as Major
Drivers for a Rise in Connected-Home Applications on the European Continent
Local service providers will
be the primary drivers for home networking and residential gateway
developments in Europe, according to Parks Associates'
Understanding
the Market for Home Networks in Europe. This new report found the
number of broadband customers in Western Europe has reached 7.8 million,
creating new opportunities for home networking deployments that both service
providers and product developers cannot ignore.
"The European broadband market grew significantly
in several major countries during the first three quarters of 2002,"
said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research. "Given the strength of
certain incumbent providers - coupled with the fact that they are providers
of bundled services to a good many of their customers - developers of home
networking and residential gateway solutions should be looking at Europe as
a market with vast potential for home networking deployment."
Understanding
the Market for Home Networks in Europe examines the major service
providers, including broadband players, digital television purveyors, and
mobile telephony companies, in 14 Western European countries. The report
includes more than 70 charts with computer, Internet, television service,
and mobile telephony statistics for each country and for the entire region.
