Over 40 percent of U.S. broadband households are very positive on TV Everywhere services — offerings that let cable customers view TV programs online as part of their subscription — but only 16 percent are willing to pay an additional $5 per month for this service. These consumer realities create business challenges for companies in the digital living space, even as new technologies open more opportunities in value-added services and connected CE.

CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Living Conference and Showcase, hosted by international research firm Parks Associates on June 8-10, 2010, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, tackles these and other issues in the markets for connected home technologies and digital living solutions.
