An overview of the main points of the MHP standard


Notes:


MHP attempts to merge European DVB standards with those of the Internet. Much of the bulk of the standard comes in merging the two and reconciling the needs of broadcast and interactive modes of operating. It is not clear what applications will prove most popular with MHP. It might have been better if the standard had been developed as a set of documents, building up functionality, based on experience, rather than as one "big bang". The Internet has shown the benefits of incremental standards development.
