DIY i-TV producers: emerging nomadic communities
by Daria Loi, Anxo Cereijo Roibas
International Journal of Web Based Communities (IJWBC), Vol. 3, No. 4, 2007

Abstract: This article reflects on emerging communities of nomadic users, which employ handhelds to create and share multimedia content. More specifically, authors explore new scenarios of pervasive i-TV by illustrating new user-experience models and new forms of content for convergent media. These new scenarios look at how mobile phones as personal interfaces interconnected with other nearby interfaces will contribute to create communication ubiquity – a ubiquity that refers to a system of pervasive communication without spatial and temporal constraints. This article shows how relevant applications of pervasive i-TV can be related to the creation and sharing of new forms of content and, more specifically, to the production and broadcast or narrowcast of multimedia content.
