| Home Networking Unplugged | |
| The home network creates a new type of environment for the service provider to manage. Traditional telephony and video services had very well defined business models, standard customer support processes and very clearly delineated network demarcation points. The complexity of home networking is forcing service providers to re-define all of these service characteristics. | |
