Networked home offers threats and opportunities
Cisco Systems Inc, which makes key equipment like routers that drive large computer networks and the Internet, has in the past decade addressed Indias corporate sector and emerging industries like business process outsourcing (BPO) for which networks are critical. When Chief Executive Officer John Chambers visits India later this week, the focus will be on networked homes in which digital entertainment and personal computers come together. Chambers addressed some issues involved in an e-mail interview with Prerna K Mishra ahead of his visit. Excerpts:
Q: Why has the consumer segment emerged as a big focus area for Cisco in recent times?
A: Our industry is currently in the midst of a major market transition. We are entering the era of the networked home. Over 14 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2010 which means that consumers will be able to get what they want, when they want it and on any device they want, all over a wired or wireless IP (Internet Protocol) network. The networked home offers incumbent companies both threats and opportunities to innovate. Today, global service providers are in a race to provide broadband services to the networked home. New and emerging content and service companies are competing to fill the needs of the empowered consumer by creating new programmes and services delivered over the network, while manufacturers are developing new devices for consumers to take advantage of these trends.
