I find the entire prediction amusing.

They're predicting that it will be "64.7%" by 2017.

They're not predicting 65% or predicting that it'll be over 60%. They're not 
even predicting that it will be "nearly 2/3rds" by 2017.

The prediction is for exactly "64.7%"

All of the things you mentioned (routers, wifi cameras, etc) are already 
commodity items in my opinion.

There are some commercial grade units available that sell at a more 
profitable price point but nearly all of the consumer devices are already 
dirt cheap.
