This technical phenomenon is addressed by our generalized Community Coordinated Multimedia model in this paper. Content-driven and service-driven models are identified and a converged CCM model is introduced. Characteristics of Community Coordinated Multimedia are specified and challenges for developing a technological framework are presented.
