scope:

This Recommendation defines high-level requirements for an application control framework based on integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) DTV services where broadcasters or cable operators are continually engaged with their network. This application control framework is intended to harmonize the behaviour and the interaction of a variety of types of applications, provided by network agnostic delivery mechanisms, including applications that are broadcast-delivered, broadband-delivered, pre-installed, installed via an application repository, or home area network delivered. This Recommendation is intended to define a baseline for such an integrated application framework.
