I support this proposal not because I think it is the best solution, but because it is the first MTI video codec proposal that the actual implementors in this technology space have even remotely agreed on since the discussion began. I support this proposal primarily because it is the only solution we have yet seen that has a credible chance of succeeding.

OK, we are potential implementor, and so are Blackberry, and we don’t agree. 

You seem to hypothesize two camps only and that this has support of both. You are therefore trying to claim a state of consensus which does not exist.  There was pushback both in the room and on the list.
