CONNECTIONS™ Europe features service providers, wireless solutions providers, CE and content management experts

The composition of the connected home will shift dramatically in the next five years, with connected consumer electronics and mobile devices (mainly smartphones and tablet computers) comprising 80% of the seven billion connected nodes worldwide by 2015. This changing landscape is the main focus of the CONNECTIONS™ Europe conference, November 15-16 in Amsterdam.

“The number of connected home nodes worldwide will grow to more than seven billion by year-end 2015,” said Kurt Scherf, VP, principal analyst, Parks Associates. “This market encompasses diverse stakeholders including managed service operators, CE manufacturers, content creators and aggregators, home networking chipset developers, and software and silicon vendors .”

According to Parks Associates’ study Mobile Cloud Media and Access Platforms, 52% of consumers in U.S. broadband households are interested in using mobile phones to catch up on primetime television programming. Further, one-third of consumers are willing to pay a premium of at least $5 per month for a service that provides premium content to mobile/portable devices. “These devices become extensions to the television experience,” Scherf said. “Multiple industries must work together to build the appropriate technologies and define new business models.”
