Executive Summary

Forrester has been talking about the digital home for several years: This vision needs non-PC devices to be connected, otherwise it's just a version of today's home network. Getting multiple devices connected has now become a focus for many companies, including infrastructure providers, chipset companies, and device manufacturers from both the PC and CE sides of the business. To deliver on the digital home vision, the price of connectivity components needs to fall, and those adding connectivity need a clear strategy in terms of why they are doing this — not just because they can.
