This report provides a comprehensive analysis of value-added services
delivered by broadband service providers. It examines the trends, technical
issues, business models, and consumer interest in deployed and planned
services (entertainment, home services, technical support services,
convergence services, and emerging areas such as digital health) in global
markets.
"As broadband penetration increases, ISPs in competitive markets are adding
several new services to retain subscribers and to increase ARPU," said Brett
Sappington, a senior analyst at Parks Associates. "Many of these services,
such as multiscreen video and home automation, will leverage the networks and
in-home systems being deployed today. Cloud-based Value-Added Services
provides a look into the market forces, consumer demand, business models, and
strategies that are shaping this growing area."
