Tech Alliance on ‘Digital Living’ to Be Unveiled

No one, not two, not 10…a whopping 145. Yes, a group of 145 global electronics companies will announce an alliance to support the development of computers, home electronics and mobile devices that share digital content with one another.

The group, to be called the Digital Living Network Alliance, aims to develop the fledgling market for electronic devices that can easily send and share music, movies, TV programs across the home.

The alliance will publish guidelines for building compliant consumer electronics, and will establish a seal of approval for products that meet those guidelines. A logo for certified products will be available early next year.

The group is a collection of odd bedfellows. Members Microsoft and Nokia are fierce competitors in developing software for mobile phones, while IBM and HP slug it out over computer sales.
