Cory Doctorow

August 13, 2002 by Michael Boyle

Cory Doctorow

has written an excellent overview of the issues surrounding the introduction of digital TV which has been published in TidBITS this week. Quote: “Hollywood suckered the tech companies in with this promise and then sprang the trap. No, you won’t get a set of objective criteria out of us. From now on, every technology company with a new product will have to come to us on its knees and beg for our approval. We can’t tell you what technology we’re looking for, but we’ll know it when we see it. That’s the ‘standard’ we’re writing here: we’ll know it when we see it.”
