Session A:

Networking the Digital Home and the Residential Gateway - The TV Hub, Computer Hub, Telecommunications Hub (Part II)
Continued from the Monday workshops, this session continues the discussion of the emergence of the Digital Home. The good news for the American consumer is that the competition between the computer, television, telecommunications, satellite, cable, wireless delivery, even the electric company is in the process of either hosting, delivering or networking systems or content in the home. By the year 2004, it is expected that 60% of cable homes will be wired for broadband. How that transition will take place is the subject of this workshop.
