March 23, 2005 Dallas, TX — CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home Conference and Showcase will offer a comprehensive examination of the value chain for digital entertainment with a special session from the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA™) featuring perspectives from each key point along that continuum.

"The landscape for digital living services and technologies is multilayered, with technologists, retail entities, manufacturers, and service operators all part of the mix," said Tricia Parks, president of Parks Associates. "MoCA™ has the breadth of knowledge and experience to offer a truly complete examination of this market space. Our attendees will benefit greatly from MoCA’s presence at CONNECTIONS™."
