Digital Home Summit to Explore Digital Home Opportunity for Broadband Carriers


COLLEGE PARK, Md., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The broadband carrier and digital home ecosystems are set to converge at the 2011 Digital Home Summit (http://www.digitalhomesummit.com), September 27th - 28th in Orlando, to discuss the exploding business opportunities presented by the digital home. Co-located with the FTTH Conference and Expo, the 2011 Digital Home Summit is the leading destination for broadband carriers to come and gain important insight necessary to help develop digital home strategies.



"Broadband carriers can no longer drop service off at the side of the house and move on. The entire digital home is the new demarc, so broadband carriers need to better understand how to capitalize on this reality," said Bernie Arnason, chair of the Digital Home Summit and publisher and managing editor of telecompetitor.com. "The Digital Home Summit is an excellent venue for carriers to network with each other and the thought leaders from companies who are enabling this growing business opportunity." Topics to be discussed include the role and implications of the Connected TV, the impact of a Content Anywhere, Anytime marketplace, the developing in-home app ecosystem, and an update on the smart grid.

Keynote speaker Jim Gowen, Verizon Chief Sustainability Officer and Vice President of Supply Chain, with oversight of Verizon's customer premises equipment supply chain, will outline and discuss Verizon's vision of enabling the digital home for their customers. Key sponsors of the event include Sigma Designs, Alcatel-Lucent, CHR Solutions, Parks Associates, and The Diffusion Group.


The event will see broad participation from the digital home ecosystem, with key thought leaders from Yahoo! Connected TV, thePlatform, Rovi, BitTorrent, Dolby Laboratories, SeaChange, Sezmi, Dijit, and others.
