The
AMUSE project in the framework of the ACTS program sponsored by the European
Union, has answered various questions related to the implementation and
provisioning of new multimedia services. The means to pursue such objectives
has been the setup and operation of small-scale trials in various European
countries, involving real residential users. The article first presents the
project as a whole. Then the focus is moved to evaluation of the different
technologies experimented with in the field. AMUSE services have been supplied
in the context of trial islands characterized by different access network
typologies. Validation of the different access technologies and results coming
from their installation, integration, and operation have represented a major objective
of the project. Although it is very difficult to highlight particular outcomes
from the technical experiments, with so many technologies put in place, some
general indications emerging from the deployment of some of these technologies
are supplied. Emphasis is then put on the facts and findings resulting from the
activities performed in the Italian trial island, where interactive services,
including fast Internet access from PCs or STBs, Internet TV style, and
switched video broadcasting services have been offered. The article concludes
with a summary of the major lessons learned from the trials and the
identification of a number of key factors of success for interactive multimedia
