Fulfilling the promise of the digital home requires a cross-industry effort to develop and
promote a common industry framework for interoperability. This industry framework is
expressed through the DLNA Guidelines document that has been developed to provide
Consumer Electronic, Mobile Device and PC companies with the information needed to build
interoperable platforms, devices, and application for the digital home.
