Well, for all those "proposals", I really doubt when they will start to see the light. Let's keep in mind, none of those "ideas" were ever put into real test before. I myself only see those as some obvious attempts by the other players to grab a little shares of this bug pie. It's one thing to talk it over in a tedious standard room. It's another thing to have a really working beast out there. So in my own opinion, this DV talk is nothing but empty talk out there. Hey taking millions of bucks away from those guys is already tough for them to swallow so leave a little room for them to dream is not a bad deal. Just like in UN, everybody can talk, talk is good, esp. when Q is forging ahead in the real world... Is this simply a matter of agreeing on a standard and then some simple software changes? Yes it is a matter of standard I'm afraid, esp. it will, as I said, involve the cooperation between the two standards to make the interoperability possible. Of course it is quite possible that some one go ahead with a not so standard solution and forces it into the standard body. So that's why the more I look at it, the more I want to see China being the one. With the market size as big as China, I don't think anyone has the gut to say no to it if China really want to go for it.
