Abstract

The European ACTS project AMUSE (Advanced Multimedia Services to Residential Users) carries out ATM-based multimedia field trials in a heterogeneous environment. The AMUSE infrastructure is tested in six European countries under different technical and regulatory circumstances. The trial islands vary in access network technology (Hybrid Fibre-Coax HFC, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL, Hybrid Fibre Radio HFR, and others), terminal equipment (set top box STB, PC, network computer NC) and multimedia services provided. Service usage and user acceptance have been evaluated by automatic monitoring tools and by user questioning after the trial. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of service usage results of phase 1 trials of the AMUSE project.
