In this paper, we explore the special needs arising from these recent developments in the customer premises network and outline a framework of requirements that are being compiled by the SCTE WCDG. We highlight key service and business considerations for various application use cases including managed Wi-Fi, home security, home automation, telehealth, aging-in-place, hospital-at-home, smart cities, and their associated security, installation, and support services. We believe this framework can greatly enhance the serviceability and adoption of these new services and can enable significant future revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSP).
