Patents and the Digital TV Standard?
Karpe asks: "I noticed that the Brazilian Telecom Agency is not sure if they should use the American Digital TV standard or the Japanese. Brazilian media is saying that if most TV programs we watch are american and not japanese, we should use the american standard, but the agency is not sure because of the technical aspects. I was wondering, in this world of patents, can someone help on which patents should be licensed in order to make ATSC DTV devices? I think this should be a fundamental aspect in the decision. Dolby says it will license it's AC-3 audio under reasonable terms and conditions, but what does that mean?"
