But the battle for this consumer sector is about to assert itself as a competition of technologies, more complicated than the older battle of the home PC vs. the TV. This is a world containing a new generation of TV sets, HD and games devices, wirelessly connected homes with connected PCs as well as a host of set-top box and DVR options. The next generation of home entertainment hardware, software and services will come into battle delivering HDTV, Internet, music, games, movies, plus innovative two-way communication and telephony services. This battle for the home will be a tremendous victory for both the consumer, the technology industries as well as for the entertainment industry. It presents the simple proposition that offering the consumer more and richer services in a competitive environment is the perfect formula for success.
