The TASMANIA applications platform
provides the content industry with a B2B centralised
administration to organise, execute, control and account
for music (or other digital content) track delivery from
release by Record Companies to certified receipt &
handover to online music Digital Service Providers
(DSP). The service also supports the obligations record
companies have with their Artists by tracking consumer
purchases and producing an audit trail for Royalty
statements. The application takes full advantage of
satellite communications benefits in terms of large-scale
content dissemination, economics, flexible bandwidthon-
demand allocation and a low data rate return path to
satisfy users on the key concern of security and certified
acknowledgement backchannel retransmissions.
