Where is the IEEE standards committee? We need them NOW.

[tron3]

D'oh, I forget their name, I think it's IEEE. They are THE electronics standards commitee who decides what size plugs will be used to what protocol modem manufacturers HAD to produce. That eliminated the x2 vs k-flex war.

Where are these people today? Why haven't they stepped in? Why haven't they told Toshiba and company, "Nice try, but Blu-ray is the standard."

Where are they? They should have the final say. They only stepped in when modem manufacturers didn't fix their own mess. The most people lost was full use of a $50 modem. Yet, they let that stuff go to market.

These High Definition players are going to cost well over $1000 bucks. They better step in NOW. How many times do I have to say it? Don't piss off the end-user!

You guys have to protect the consumer. Otherwise they will play with consumers all the time and change the standard every few years. American history is rich with that kind of kaos. Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

Save us now! Or else we will be doomed to settle for DVD9 and Superbit.
