Summary

We last published a report on home networks within the WirelineStrategy@Ovum service in August 2004. In this report, we shall monitor developments since then, focusing on fixed network operators in various developed economies throughout the world. We aim to provide a snapshot of the global home networking market, having looked at the propositions offered by the following operators: AT&T (US), Belgacom (Belgium), Bell Canada (Canada), BT (UK), Deutsche Telekom (Germany), France Telecom (France), Free (France), Hanaro Telecom (South Korea), Telecom Italia (Italy) and Verizon (US).

Key questions we aim to answer are as follows:

what has changed since our previous report
how are home networks evolving
what is the future of home networks
what is the fixed operator's role in home networking?
