Home Networking For The Rich And Famous
from the and-also-for-the-rest-of-us dept
Wired Magazine has spent some time going around to the houses of the rich, famous, and ultra-networked to see their multimillion dollar home automation setups. These are people who clearly don't care how much anything costs, and simply want the biggest and the best - and they want it now. These are toys for adults, and you can tell by the way they talk about them that they obsess about their automated home the way kids obsess about whatever fad-like toy is available this holiday season. The article concludes with suggestions for significantly cheaper equipment you might want to look into, if you want to imitate these homes - but rest assured, they've already moved on to something which is probably bigger and better.

Getting it to the masses
The unwillingness of the studios and labels to work aggressively with wireless technologies that enable transfer inside the home is FAR more bone-headed than the peer-to-peer debate in my opinion. If consumers could buy products that give them more access points to their media the way the want it would promote the purchase of more entertainment products like digital music jukebox and VOD services you would have to think. That, in turn, would give consumers more of a reason to abandon pirate downloading services for subscription services delivered through their MSO like Rhapsody, etc., right?
