Jennifer Kent, Vice President, Research, Parks Associates is speaking at Fiber for Breakfast hosted by Fiber Broadband Association on August 11, 2021 at 10 AM EST for the presentation, "The Rise of Stand-alone Broadband and the New Home Services Bundle."

The Rise of Stand-alone Broadband and the New Home Services Bundle
With the decline of pay-TV, traditional home services bundles have steadily declined over the past seven years. As a result, the penetration of stand-alone internet service is increasing, jumping from 34% in 2017 to 42% in 2021. Service providers have relied on bundles to attract new subscribers, increase consumer loyalty (and thus lifetime value), and differentiate from competitors. With bundling in decline, service providers turn to new value-added services to play these critical roles. In this discussion, Parks Associates will discuss shifting broadband buying behaviors, the impact on service revenues, and opportunities for service providers to offer new service types to attract and retain customers.

Fiber for Breakfast is a weekly 30-minute live video discussion hosted by our President and CEO, Gary Bolton, and featuring industry thought leaders on current topics that explore fiber as the critical infrastructure for 21st century communications as well as other connectivity and workplace issues presented during these challenging times.

Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates, is speaking at TechSee's Eve Cortex Launch Event on June 22, 2021 at 10 AM CST.

During the pandemic, enterprises turned to visual assistance to help them serve customers remotely. In the process, they’ve collected a massive amount of visual data that can be leveraged to enhance their self-service offerings using the power of Computer Vision.

But hard as organizations tried, harnessing the technology was nearly impossible; high costs and labor coupled with months and years of data collection and training was prohibitive. Using visual data to train AI to recognize thousands of consumer devices - let alone teaching it how to troubleshoot and repair them - was a mountain that couldn’t be scaled.
