The development environment of electronic equipment will be a hybrid type, and the networked CE equipment will enter the market

There are 30 million U.S. broadband users now watching some online video on TV. In addition to downloading digital video directly from the Internet, nearly 90% of households directly access video from the Internet. In-Stat predicts that 137 million Internet-connected consumer electronic devices will be sold in the United States in the next five years, and this is the vast majority of consumer electronic devices, including digital TVs, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. And so on, all can communicate with the Internet.

Chief analyst Keith Nissen said that the future environment for the development of electronic devices will be hybrid. Consumers can obtain digital resources through pay TV and network resources. There will be more and more access to digital entertainment, and there will be a large number of electronic devices that can be connected to the market. Consumers decide which electronic device to use because of different content types, sources, geographic locations, and many other factors. However, whether it is simply listening to radio or watching online information on the Internet, the large-screen TV in the home will still be the most popular choice for consumers.

There are many factors that affect the sale of electronic devices that can be connected to the Internet, including:

* Within five years, hybrid set-top boxes with more than 11 million operators will be able to provide video access to the TV directly from the network.

*Before 2014, there will be 57 million broadband users in the United States who can watch a complete online video on TV.

* By 2014, the revenue from web-to-television video will be as much as $17 billion.

* Among the households who watched online TV at least once a week from 2009 to 2010, the viewing audience aged between 46 and 54 years old expanded the fastest.
