Parks Associates today announced the 8th annual CONNECTIONS™ Europe: Monetization Strategies for the Connected Home, November 12-13 in Amsterdam, will feature keynotes from Orange, iControl Networks, and Securitas Direct – Verisure focusing on emerging entertainment and smart home solutions.
Western Europe will have nearly 340 million smartphone users by 2017. At the same time, 57% of broadband households will have a smart TV, and 78% of all Western European households will have a tablet,. Smart devices are creating new opportunities to extend services throughout the home but also introducing challenges in interoperability, competition from new channels, and heightened consumer expectations. Keynote speakers at CONNECTIONS™ Europe will offer expert insights into new technologies and market strategies that address these issues.
