Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study examines the market opportunity for networking in home office households and provides an overview of networks in the different types of home offices.

"Home office households continue to represent an important opportunity for vendors of networking products," says Justin Jaffe, senior research analyst in IDC's Home Office Market program. "The increasing number of networked home office households will be of interest to manufacturers of network-enabled devices, and the PC-owning home office households that do not yet have LANs represent a significant opportunity for networking infrastructure providers."
