New consumer research estimates the U.S. will have 191 million online video users and nearly 70 million smart-TV households by 2017.

The 9th-annual CONNECTIONS™ Summit: Profiting from Connected Home Devices & Services on January 7 at 2014 International CES, in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), North Hall, N264. The one-day event, sponsored by AT&T Digital Life, Lowe's, Pie Digital, and Radialpoint, will address connected devices, home controls platforms, second-screen services, and new services being offered to consumers.

More than 50% of U.S. broadband households have a connection between a TV and the Internet, while the average broadband user is watching 1.6 hours of video on a mobile phone each week. With increasing connectivity, every household screen can be repurposed by a different market segment to provide new smart home and entertainment services.
