Summary: BEACON stands for 'Brasilian-European Consortium for DTT Services'. It is a specific targeted research project on Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) carried out with the support of the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme Priority IST. Between 2007 and 2010 BEACON will develop innovative t-learning pilot services related to social inclusion in the State of Sao Paulo (Brasil) on the basis of pioneering research on interoperability between the European (DVB) and the Brazilian (SBTVD) Digital Terrestrial Television standards and the definition of a pedagogically sound methodology for distance learning through digital television. Ultimately the project will result in the establishment of a Brasilian-European Consortium that will manage the exploitation of the assets and the services implemented by the project.
