DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - May 27, 2010) - International research firm Parks Associates today announced CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Living Conference & Showcase will feature more than 60 sponsors and supporters from the digital living markets. Parks Associates will host CONNECTIONS™ on June 8-10 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, with more than 500 executives focused on new media, home controls and energy management, mobile and entertainment platforms, value-added services, and connected consumer electronics.
"Home networking, cross-device content accessibility, and enhanced communications features are not only differentiating features for service providers, consumer electronics companies, retailers, and technology companies, they create value in and of themselves," said Kurt Scherf, VP, principal analyst, Parks Associates.
Parks Associates forecasts that new revenues from home networking -- spanning whole-home DVR, home network installation and management, fixed-mobile convergence applications, online video-on-demand on connected consumer electronics, and other home network services -- will grow from $2.7 billion in 2010 to $6.7 billion in 2014.
"Our CONNECTIONS™ sponsors reflect a broad array of companies all adding value to both home networks and access services and helping to create new value from these exciting applications," Scherf said.
