IP and the future of MPEG



The current issue of MIT's Technology Review <http://www.techreview.com/
currnt.htm> has a special section on intellectual property.   

Leonardo Chiariglione's article, The Value of Content, is particularly
interesting as it relates to Dan's presentation and to the future of
MPEG technologies.

"MPEG has recently begun developing a new standard called “MPEG-21
Multimedia Framework,” which will integrate two critical objectives: how
consumers can search for and get content—directly by themselves or
through the use of intelligent agents—and how content can be decoded for
consumption according to usage rights. The standards underpinning the
MPEG-21 goals are of such importance for enabling this new paradigm as
the Web evolves to the broadband of tomorrow, that I am sure no company
with a stake in this transition can afford not to be part of this
effort."
