Folks, I very much object to the adoption of standards that have been patented. It is in the best interests of all WWW users to continue with the foundation of open, royalty- free standards upon which the WWW has been based. Please keep the standards open, so that the playing field is level rather than dominated by a few large players. To force all of us to pay rent to participate in such a basic communication system goes against information sharing, innovation, and the connectedness that has made the web such a huge success. Don't let the profit-grabbing tactics of a few big corporations ruin what has been a wonderful arena for truly global communication.
