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 techstocks.com techstocks.com Unfortunately, this is the only response I received: -----Original Message----- From: SDMI Info <sdmi@globalintegrity.com> Cc: SDMI Info <sdmi@globalintegrity.com> Date: Friday, May 21, 1999 5:07 PM Subject: SDMI basic info >Walter, > >Alex Walsh of RIAA forwarded your message to the SDMI Secretariat.
