Just a thought, but...

Given the W3C announcement of making Ogg Theora THE (actual & open)
standard for compressed Audio / Video media delivery on the internet,
AND given that this is supported my Mozilla's plans to embed Ogg
Theora support in the next major releases of their bowsers, AND knowing
that Ogg Theora are GPL Open Source solutions, why would anyone
pursue proprietary MPEG/H.264 schemes for a media delivery system?
