Digital Home Trends

The emerging digital home market segment is being defined by three trends:

• Consumer demand for digital services- Broadcast and Internet Protocol (IP) infrastucture are converging in the digital home and business environment. This is encouraging both consumer and enterprise to demand services from low-bandwidth messaging to conventional TV, HDTV, and on-demand services including video, IPTV, music, games and educational content.

• Broader availability and lower cost of feature-rich consumer devices-Consumers can now choose from an array of client devices to access and store digital content, including IP-Digital Set Top Boxes (IP-DSTB). Digital Video Recorders (DVR), entertainment PCs (ePC), handheld devices, cell phones, and Voice over IP (VoIP) apparatus.

• Next generation network standards- these include the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) standard developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), as well as standards from Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) consortium

Service providers can maximise their monthly revenue from each consumer or business user, if they understand the key enablers of the the digital home and working environment and make plans now to implement them.
