“By the end of 2008, there will be more than 15 million US HHs using
Internet-based video services,” said
Tricia Parks, president of Parks Associates. “The convergence of
technology, entertainment, and the home is moving the network into new
domains, including photos, audio, voice, and video. Mr. Giancarlo will
provide CONNECTIONS™ attendees with an expert analysis of challenges and
opportunities afforded by these new market realities.”
In his keynote,
Giancarlo
will discuss the trends and technologies fueling the Next Generation Home.
He will examine network convergence, specifically as it is leading the
development of new consumer devices, services, and applications for the
home.
“People have purchased home networks to enable their families to get
data access to the internet from anywhere in their home. Voice, video and
entertainment will be the next major applications for broadband usage in
the home,” said Cisco CTO and Cisco-Linksys president
Charles Giancarlo. “The
increasing availability of new content from service providers coupled with
VoIP and entertainment products from vendors like Linksys, will enable
consumers get the more out of their broadband connection.”
