The use of a home network largely as a broadband-sharing mechanism is just the first of several stages in the evolution of home networking. Both consumers and carriers will use connectivity for applications beyond shared Internet. For consumers, the desire to share multimedia content among different devices will drive adoption of digital media adapters, either stand-alone or integrated with other platforms such as a set-top box.
