This report provides analysis on the deployment of home networking solutions
by worldwide broadband service providers. It examines the role of residential
gateways in enabling new applications and services and focuses on issues
related to remote management and service provisioning features. The report
provides forecasts for service provider-deployed home networks through 2013.
“Service providers are taking on a greater role in deploying, servicing,
and now monetizing home networks,” said Kurt Scherf, vice
president and principal analyst with Parks Associates. “Beyond basic
broadband sharing applications, in-home connectivity is enabling new
communications and entertainment services.”
