Hi, Actually, maybe we can look at how other SDOs are handling this issue. Considering that ITU-T, 3GPP/3GPP2 and (to a lesser extent) MPEG all standardise codecs in the same space, how do these SDOs coordinate? For example, does the ITU-T SG16 have some text in it's "charter" that says "we will communicate the requirements to 3GPP and other SDOs to see if they have codecs that fill these requirements"? Can someone more familiar than I am with the ITU-T/3GPPx/MPEG/... explain how this issue is being handled?
