"CONNECTIONS™ Europe brings together the industry's best to discuss the connected home ecosystem and Internet of Things," said Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates. "Over 50% of tablet and smartphone owners in German, Spanish, and U.K. broadband households use their mobile device to search for video content. The connected home is creating challenges and opportunities for service providers and pay-TV operators, and we will examine new service and revenue strategies to reach the connected consumer."
