They'll invest because there's money to be made there. Consumers are still buying. Making money is a good way of being profitable. Out of the 400 million cell phones sold this year, circa 16 million are equiped with a camera. That requires bandwidth. Japan and South Korea have a lot of mobile phones that are as yet only dreams elsewhere but are bound to propagate sooner or later. So, the market is down. It'll come back up. Besides, I wasn't talking about what is happening on the side of what is produced and sold, I was talking about what was going on inside telecom standard orgs, namely 3GPP. Moreover, I was talking about compression, ie a way of making rich content available even without the fast network. > | I'd put that as the missing part.

What tools? I've made a lot of SVG and have never needed tools from either of those companies. Apart for movies -- and I don't think that's what was meant by "animation" -- you don't need anything that you can't already get for free. -- Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@expway.fr> Research Engineer, Expway 7FC0 6F5F D864 EFB8 08CE 8E74 58E6 D5DB 4889 2488Received on Friday, 22 November 2002 11:54:19 GMT
