-
Overview of ETSI and EBU activities in the media delivery areas, as well as the work in DVB and in the Open IPTV Forum.
-
Outline of the specific work item and work programme of HBB (to be standardised in ETSI)
-
HBB in two major Interactive TV environments, MHEG5 and MHP
Presentations were given by experts representing organizations such as ETSI, EBU, DVB Project, ANT Software Ltd, Philips International, Alticast, KPN, Freebox, NBC
