“While broadband is a key enabling technology for the growth of the connected home, new challenges are arising that will impact the future of these services,” said Brett Sappington, director, research, Parks Associates. “Broadband providers are in a race to provide high-speed services to customers in an effort to retain subscribers and capture additional market share.
