IGF 2024 Lightning Talk #43 Delivering Rich Contents via Grassroots Web Server with FTTH

This lighting talk is about private project named “Musashino Media Laboratory (MML)” which delivers rich contents via grassroots Web servers with FTTH. http://www13.plala.or.jp/mml/index_E.html There are two Web servers, one is in my house and the other in my sister’s house. It’s possible to access to the contents through front-end commercial Web service. http://www13.plala.or.jp/mml/AboutMML/About_MML_E.html Rich Contents, like 4K Video, high-resolution Audio, Panorama photo, Spherical photo, 4K Spherical Video + Ambisonics Audio and so on are available for public. Over 100+ contents are ready for free access. Its motto is “Expand your experience, explore new emotion”. This project shows that it’s possible to deliver rich contents which has big file size using FTTH and small Web server without Data Center which requires comprehensible investment. This approach is especially useful in emerging countries to deliver educational materials, tourism promotion materials and so on without big investment. It’s helpful to develop educational environment and local industry in emerging countries. While this activity is private one, it’s closely related with my professional activity as Secretary-General, The ITU Association of Japan which provides training course like “Bridging the GAP” for trainees from emerging countries.
