"While companies are naturally acting to seize opportunities offered by a new round of
entertainment options and benefits, there are also multiple opportunities beyond entertainment,"
says Parks. "Long term winners will embrace technologies that fulfill consumers' expectations for a
truly connected home; one that includes but is not limited to networked entertainment and computing
devices. This also represents an approach for the next several years for differentiation to consumers
