Prior to the AIC meeting in Atlantic City I made a concerted attempt to learn about all of the organizations that are working in this area. I attended the Quarterly SMPTE meetings, an OPIMA meeting, a DAVIC meeting, L3 and MPEG.I also talked to the leadership of the ATVEF initiative and DASE. Needless to say there is a large amount of duplication of efforts--coordination is badly needed. My original intent was to hold an OpenDTV Summit Conference concurrent with the AIC meeting to bring together all of the affected groups that are working on this problem. This meeting was postponed due to tight schedules and logistics. I am now trying to reschedule this meeting for December 5th & 6th in California. Unfortunately, this is the weekend before the next MPEG meeting, but it is a good opportunity to bring together most of the groups in the U.S. working on these problems. Those who are not planning on going to Israel may want to consider attending the Summit Meeting. The Western Cable show is the week before, and the SMPTE quarterly meetings will be held the week after. Regards Craig
