5. opportunities for differentiation / leading edge services optimized for Sony’s products 5 if Sony makes changes to the rights embedded on digital copies of its films within Sony Entertainment Network, it can create the same interaction between connected TVs and tablets, without requiring the user to purchase a separate set-top box, by using existing DLNA technology tablets and mobile devices are becoming the “steering wheel” of the living room when combined with a connected TV, a tablet becomes the living room’s CPU, user interface, and connection to the consumers’ cloud-based services.
