Parks Associates: Over 40% of U.K. broadband households interested in mobile security alerts from their service provider
CONNECTIONS™ Europe, 13-14 November in Amsterdam, features service providers, manufacturers, home automation companies showcasing new video, connected home, and energy solutions

Thirty-five percent are very interested in an offering where appliances automatically adjust their settings to minimize electricity usage.
Parks Associates hosts CONNECTIONS™ Europe on 13-14 November in Amsterdam to showcase new solutions and new monetization opportunities in energy, video services, home controls, and connected-home solutions.
