Waller addresses the following questions in this Audiocast:

• Could you talk about Thomson's role in the home network and how you contribute to the telco's and cable operator's triple play service drive?

• What challenges do service providers face in helping their customers build out a robust home network?

• How is the role of the home gateway changing? Do you believe we'll continue to see the continued integration of new features and functionality going into these devices?

• Talk about how Thomson's open software approach helps telcos achieve more harmony in the home network?

• There seems to be an alphabet soup of wiring technologies (i.e., Powerline, HPNA and MoCA). What can the vendor community do to help service providers get through this maze of technologies and extend the best choice onto their customers?
