I always thought that the evil greed was with Worldcom, not MCI. From reading the article, it sounds like this started with MCI long before the merger.
I was hopeing it was one of the other companies Worldcom of Borg assimilated. Wiltel or MFS or someone else.
Sure, you will be able to burn whatever is adopted as the standard later.
Problem is, what happens to the dvd's that you burn in the mean time in the format that you guess (wrongly) will be the right one?
By then, you'l have another computer that you'll want to read the wrongly formated dvd's on.
Sunday ticket is the reason most people even have Directv.
By the way, who doesn't have the option of Directv? Unless you have big trees in your yard or don't live in the US, you have the option.
