In a compendium of 14 papers from varied authors we have much needed thinking and material on the acceptance, demand, forecasting methods and drivers for home infotainment growth viewed from the demand-side."—Pergamon"Although the book does not deal with the Internet, 'many of the conceptual and analytical frameworks presented here are clearly applicable broadly to all information technologies.'"—Communication Research Trends
