This report examines the market potential for network-capable consumer electronics products, profiles early adopters and use cases, probes the requirements for connectivity technology and home networking infrastructure, and forecasts market demand. It is a comprehensive industry analysis featuring rich consumer data from our latest surveys Managing the Digital Home - Installation and Support Services and Bundled Services and Residential Gateways.

"Advances in silicon technology have improved the performance and lowered the cost of ownership of network-capable consumer electronics," said Harry Wang, research analyst.

But to fulfil the promise of whole-home entertainment, much more needs to be done by CE manufacturers, software developers, service providers, and content owners in the areas of network management, hardware-software integration, rights management, and user interface design."
