Sigma Designs, Hitachi, Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T to outline digital home opportunities

College Park, MD, August 12, 2010 — As consumers continue to demand digital content on the device of their choosing anywhere in the home, broadband service providers are compelled to enable a robust digital home experience or risk losing ground to competitors who will. These and other issues will be explored at the 2010 Digital Home Summit conference, co-located with the FTTH Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, September 15 – 16, 2010.

“The digital home is broadband’s next frontier, and broadband service providers can no longer just drop broadband service off at the side of the house,” says Bernie Arnason, conference chair of the Digital Home Summit. “Broadband service providers who best enable a competitive digital home experience can reduce churn and grow ARPU.” More information about the Digital Home Summit can be found at http://www.digitalhomesummit.com.

Topics explored at the summit include the implications of the Smart TV, Broadband Apps for the home, and the growing influence of SmartGrid home area networks. Leading service providers including Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T will share their vision for the connected home and its opportunities.

The 2010 Digital Home Summit has broad support from the broadband industry and in addition to corporate sponsors Sigma Designs and Hitachi Communication Technologies America, is endorsed by the Broadband Forum, The HomeGrid Forum, the HomePNA Alliance, the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), and the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA).
