Abstract :
Digital storage media-command and control (DSM-CC) is a very recent ISO/IEC standard developed for the delivery of multimedia broadband services. Open protocols in this area are essential for the widespread deployment of such services. Total interoperability between service providers and consumers will require many different aspects of broadband service delivery to be addressed. This article gives an introductory overview of the different functions covered by the DSM-CC standard. Its purpose is to convey the scope of the DSM-CC standard and the basic reference model that underpinned the development of the standard
