Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) Discusses
Digital Entertainment Value Chain at CONNECTIONS™
CONNECTIONS™: The
Digital Home Conference and Showcase will offer a comprehensive
examination of the value chain for digital entertainment with a special
session from the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA™) featuring
perspectives from each key point along that continuum.
This special session, titled
Realizing The
Digital Entertainment Value Chain Through The Home Network, will
take place on May 12 at 2:45 p.m. CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home
Conference and Showcase, produced by Parks Associates in partnership
with the Consumer Electronics Association, will take place May 11-13,
2005, at the Hyatt Regency near the San Francisco Airport in Burlingame,
Calif.
“The landscape for digital living services and technologies is
multilayered, with technologists, retail entities, manufacturers, and
service operators all part of the mix,” said
Tricia Parks,
president of Parks Associates. “MoCA™ has the breadth of knowledge and
experience to offer a truly complete examination of this market space. Our
attendees will benefit greatly from MoCA’s presence at CONNECTIONS™.”
According to Parks Associates, approximately 30 million U.S. households
have a broadband connection, 50 million have either digital cable or
direct broadcast satellite (DBS) television service, 18+ million
households have a data networking solution, and 75% of U.S. households
have a DVD player. As the number of advanced products and services
increases, also boosting the number of companies involved in these digital
markets, both the complexity and potential for these markets have
escalated.
“CONNECTIONS™ is the premier industry conference for creating greater
understanding of the future of the digital home,” said
Ladd Wardani,
president of MoCA™. “This session provides a great opportunity for people
interested in learning about the new home digital entertainment network to
