Tons of people are doing some kind of home networking these days as they
connect to broadband, hook up a wireless modem for their laptop or connect multiple home computers together. U.S home networks will climb to 16.2 million in 2004 according to research firm IDC. Despite adaption by millions
of consumers the technology has still not become simple enough for people to
use the networking for media and entertainment -- most people are just using it to connect multiple computers to an Internet broadband connection.
