The Smart Home changes how we live, work and play, enabling remote work and learning opportunities, digital creators, and innovators to thrive wherever they live. It creates the freedom to live anywhere and be as connected as anyone in technology hubs has been, but without the congestion, higher cost of living, and noise. For Millennials and Baby Boomers, it also creates a connection that could allow them to live in their homes longer with a better quality of life. This panel will discuss the economic impact potentials and multipliers fiber broadband affords, including telehealth, home monitoring, and other progressive services.
