mi-friends: the European DMB-Project

"mi friends" = mobile, interactive favourite TV, radio, information, entertainment and new digital services.

The project - initiated by the Bavarian regulatory authority for commercial broadcasting (BLM) - aimes at a new architecture of inter-working media services based on broadcasting/telecommunication infrastructures for the media needs of a mobile information society.
The project goal is to develop and test new mobile media technologies from an economic point of view paying particular regard to social and cultural aspects with media consumer in its centre.
To make media available "anywhere, anytime, anyway" and thus meeting the needs of users in Europe is the project's main target.
In November 2005 "mi friends" has been awarded a CELTIC label in the European R & D initiative, thereby qualifying for national funding within the EUREKA programme network. The CELTIC initiative (Cooperation for European sustained Leadership in Telecommunications) supports comprehensive research and development projects in the telecommunications sector within the pan-European EUREKA R & D programme.
