| It is instructive to compare this with his talk at CERN earlier in the | year, when he made it clear that standards were something that should | be set by companies, on a proprietary basis, and not something that | should be debated publicly, let alone decided publicly. From spending my time around here and with the PNG group, I would have to say that proprietary standards seem to be the only ones that catch on in a limited amount of time... seems that it is money that drives standards ... the wrong way... If there is a standard out there that costs money, there is someone eager to buy it to implement it, but pass them an offer of a free one and they overlook it...
