CONNECTIONS™ keynotes address implications, new strategies as connected TVs, new video services, and the home network combine to power the connected home

Samsung, Sony Pictures, Verizon, and Intel to deliver keynotes at Digital Living Conference and Showcase

CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Living Conference and Showcase will feature keynote presentations from Intel, Samsung, Sony Pictures, and Verizon. The conference will take place June 8-10, 2010, in Santa Clara, Calif. These keynotes will discuss new video and TV technologies and their impact on business strategies, challenges and solutions in managing new digital content, and the changes throughout the home as the network ties together content, devices, and services.

Worldwide sales of connected TVs will exceed 30 million in 2010, comprising about one-fourth of all HDTV sales. These devices, combined with the proliferation of pay-TV and online services, will help drive consumption of video content, which via the network will reach a variety of connected and mobile devices in the home. In the U.S. alone, revenues from pay-TV and online VoD, combined with interactive video advertising revenues, will grow from $8.5 billion in 2010 to almost $30 billion in 2014.
