The Home Networking Study, developed by the CABA Internet Home Alliance Research Council, provides an up-to-date, comprehensive understanding of opportunities and barriers to home networking as they occur throughout the adoption cycle: from purchase through installation, use and maintenance. Of particular interest to project sponsors are factors affecting consumer interest in advanced network applications in areas such as entertainment and home control. Cisco Systems, AT&T, SupportSoft, and Whirlpool Corporation led, funded and participated in this research.
