SAMBA is a European Project funded under the 1ST 6th framework program for International collaboration on iDTV between Europe and Latin America. The main objective of the project is to create a framework for allowing local communities and citizens (including low income population) to access community-oriented content and services by means of iDTV channels. SAMBA approach consists in developing user- friendly Web-based tools for iDTV community-oriented content creation. Besides, SAMBA will explore the potentials of utilization of iDTV for the creation of future services and business models for the fixed and mobile TV market.
