These statements prompted me to contact SDMI:
"SDMI Executive Director Dr. Leonardo Chiariglione...is passionate about the need for public testing, also expressed skepticism over proprietary technologies, such as Microsoft's MS-Audio 4 and Lucent's EPAC.
"Whoever produces new coding schemes, if they want to be credible, should carry out the same objective tests and publish them," Chiariglione said. "[Not doing so] does not serve the needs of the consumers, and does not serve the needs of people putting content on the Web." from Webnoize.com 4/28/99
