Fresh research from Parks Associates has revealed that more than 40 percent of new security monitoring subscribers are signing with nontraditional providers — like cable and telco companies.
“Traditional security companies still claim over 75 percent of the monitored security market, but this growth in subscribers through these new channels shows a renewed interest in security offerings,” according to a press release from the organization.
What’s going on? For one thing, major changes in the home security marketplace — much of it related to the new connectivity technologies.
