That's actually not at all the case. DAP is focused on APIs that expose a service of the underlying device, which may be any kind of device, mobile or otherwise. Nothing that we do is in any way mobile-specific or even particularly mobile-oriented. Of course, all the APIs work in a mobile environment, but that's a requirement for all W3C WGs nowadays.

You can see a list of participants at:

  http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=43696

As you can see it does include some TV companies, and of course we can always welcome more (though DAP would probably not be the right place for TV-specific technology, rather for technology that TV use cases require but that are more broadly useful).

The core, driving principle is the creation of APIs that are secure and privacy-aware in a regular browsing environment. It may not seem like much but that rule is sufficient to arbitrate a lot of debate in API creation. Beyond that, it's just good, clean JS APIs.

>  3> What Browser vendors have interest in implementing Device API?

I cannot speak for companies that I do not represent. I have received indications of interest from several browser vendors; I think that this will be clearer after the rechartering.
