The ResNet 2005 Survey was the first attempt to obtain a comprehensive baseline of information from the perspective of groups that support residential networks and related services. The information gathered through the survey related to the scope of responsibilities of those supporting residential networks, staffing, support and services provided, supported network infrastructure, fees and budgets, security measures and policies, and challenges.
Due to the challenges of identifying the population and the fact that survey respondents were self-selected, the ResNet 2005 Survey is descriptive rather than experimental in nature. The group strongly advises readers to cautiously draw correlations from the survey respondents to the population.
