Seamless 'hubs'

Emmanuel Dieppedalle, marketing director at consumer electronics company Philips, describes the digital home as comprised of three 'hubs': a computer hub, a communication hub that includes mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and a consumer hub, which covers televisions, digital video discs (DVD), among others.

'APAC (Asia Pacific) is very well positioned to be a forerunner of the digital lifestyle adoption but the big challenge is the interconnection of these three hubs,' said Dieppedalle.
