A large majority of consumers in the United States are expressing greater levels of interest for all types of data privacy and security solutions, according to new research by Parks Associates.
The report, “360 Deep Dive: Consumer Privacy: My Smart Home, My Castle,” found that 75% of heads of U.S. broadband households intend to acquire a security or privacy service in the next 12 months. Almost 40% of these consumers rank receiving these services bundled with their broadband service at no additional charge as most desirable, while the remaining 62% would opt to pay an additional fee for these services, either through a subscription, warranty, or one-time fee.
