Although broadband adoption will always play a major role in home networking adoption, other factors are
driving demand. Instead of service providers supplying basic home network services, device makers are making
the home network more interesting for consumers.
Service providers are fueling broadband adoption and as a result, spurring the growth of home networking. According to the
Yankee Group Anywhere Consumer: 2007 US Penetration and Usage Survey, more than 75% of households (HHs) now have
broadband. However, despite the uptick in broadband adoption, home networking adoption is used in only 35% of broadband
HHs. Nearly two-thirds of respondents have a wireless network that frees a home of wires and enables wireless broadband
sharing, but limits streaming speeds. The vast majority of consumer premises equipment shipped today are routers with
embedded Wi-Fi capabilities. Many home devices and consumer electronics are also Wi-Fi capable, thus creating a home
network where both wired and wireless devices can connect and communicate.
