On 7 April 2013, the Video Services Forum (VSF) in collaboration with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the SMPTE announced the formation and sponsorship of the Joint Task-Force on Networked Media (JT-NM). This group's mission is to enable new business opportunities through the exchange of professional media across networks, taking advantage of the benefits of IT-based technology at an affordable price. The goal of the Task Force is to map out a strategy for developing a packet-based network infrastructure for the professional media industry by bringing together manufacturers, broadcasters, and industry organizations (standards bodies and trade associations) with the objective to create, store, transfer and stream professional media.
