Lighthouse Thematic Workgroup #1: Project NIMS (Next Generation Interactive Multimedia Applications and Services)

Project NIMS is a joint initiative by IDA and MDA to build capabilities, infrastructure and the industry ecosystem in the area of interactive multimedia application and services.

IDA and MDA will be conducting an Industry Dialogue (ID) to seek views from the industry to sharpen this strategy, specifically on the following:

• Share IDA’s and MDA’s view on the current interactive multimedia services ecosystem and seek industry views on whether and/or how the ecosystem will evolve in the mid term to achieve the NIMS vision;
• Understand the potential barriers of entry for successful commercial deployment of NIMS in Singapore;
• Develop an approach to catalyse the industry in the development of NIMS; and
• Establish the need for a NIMS infrastructure provider to provide wholesale access for other retail services providers to deliver NIMS.
