This Recommendation defines high-level requirements for an application control framework based on Integrated Broadcast and Broadband DTV services where broadcasters or cable operators are always involved with their network. This application control framework is intended to harmonize the behavior and the interaction of a variety of types of applications, provided by network agnostic delivery mechanisms, including 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.
