NETWORKED MEDIA OF THE FUTURE: The term Networked Media encapsulates the concept that in the future all the elements of the media value chain will have a network capacity attached to them. Not only does it mean that all devices and multimedia content will be network-enabled but it also means that users and providers will participate and collaborate actively in a community network.
The Networked Media Task Force (NM-TF) Vision is built upon three axes that will be available in the future, i.e. true broadband, personalised media, and distributed control. The NM-TF envisions "new models of rich media interactions and cooperation based on enhanced AV content at the community level with distributed control infrastructure and community intelligence allowing pervasive personalised media services without the need of central control".
