Crikey, Carlos! I didn't know about that one. This is getting really silly now then. I can't help but wonder whether the Chinese might just make a big headway into the market then. They have the manufacturing base and the marketing ability to be able to swamp the market. All they need to do is undercut the Japanese manufacturers on price - which they can easily do.
Right. Even if red laser means lower density. The starting point for them is that they don't want to pay some one else for use of standards, but that's not the only reason, it is complex, it seems. It is not the only field where they are developing their own standard. And they themselves have two competing technologies for dvd! It is kind of weird when standards are not so "standard", isn't it? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEHp5EtTMYHG2NR9URAgTIAJ9Cb0vTUQbk8loNt7Rbk3v+yVErnACbBD+4 nogPIYdVKzJcgxBfIayFteo= =BK+I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
