INSTINCT will lay the foundation for the commercial take-up of the co-operation of broadcasting and telecommunication services for people on the move. It will develop a comprehensive vision of the business drivers, based on a study of user requirements and an active monitoring of the regulatory factors. It will also finalise all technical aspects necessary for a wide adoption of the system: multi-modal low-power terminals, scalable network and RF spectrum engineering solutions, standardised service provisioning and content creation tools and end-to-end quality of service.
INSTINCT will build e-Europe by providing more radio network access and more affordable and attractive secure services to the end user. It will allow a non-discriminatory access for all potential users, i.e. for all citizens, and it will react to the users' demand for appropriate levels of quality in multimedia applications. It thus directly addresses the aims of eEurope 2005 by providing significant action to stimulate secure services on a widely available broadband infrastructure. Furthermore, it fosters e-inclusion by significantly enhancing the multi-platform provision of services with its "cross-over" service concept.
In the new business and regulatory environment, the longer-term activities of various international workgroups such as DVB and 3GPP have slowed down as industry searches for a shorter term for return on investment. INSTINCT will bridge this recent trend with the latest technological developments, allowing DVB to keep its worldwide domination as a broadcasting standard toolbox by making DVB-T mobile and by supporting the design and testing of the DVB-H standard. INSTINCT will thus make a major contribution in helping Europe maintain its leadership in mobile and broadband communication technologies, and will constitute a milestone in response to Framework Directive 2002/21/EC of 7 March 2002 and to the Action Plan on digital television called by EP Resolution of 26 September.
