“Nokia announced its home networking product strategy Thursday, with its prototype digital Media Terminal — much like a set top box — running Linux and the
Mozilla browser. The prototype is being developed by the newly formed Nokia Home Communications division set up to develop products and services for home appliances connected to wireless… LANs.”

“Nokia Home Communications' product range will consist of:

• Home Gateways to receive and distribute Internet and media content throughout the home
  
• Software and services developed for the home
  
• Media terminals to act as a home communication centre
  
• The media terminals run on open standards, which Nokia believes is crucial for the technology to succeed.”
