The Connections Digital Home Conference & Showcase in San Francisco has covered a potpourri of topics–IP television capabilities, telephone companies’ struggle to offer the same bundled TV–Internet-phone services as cable companies, and how the general public will respond to the ongoing battle for the living room. In the opening keynote at the show, Kevin Corbett, Intel vice president and chief technology officer for the Home Technology group, gave an overview of the company’s research on the future of content for the digitally enhanced home, touching briefly on Intel’s partnership with Morgan Freeman’s production company, Revelation Entertainment; digital rights management; and new opportunities for advertisers.
