  22       <div class="date">12th September 2012</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, <a href="http://www.ietf.org/">IETF</a> announced the
  24 publication of of
  25 <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716">RFC 6716, the Definition
  26 of the Opus Audio Codec</a>, a low latency, variable bandwidth, codec
  27 intended for both VoIP, film and music.  This is the first time, as
  28 far as I know, that IETF have standardized a multimedia codec.  In
  29 <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3533">RFC 3533</a>, IETF
  30 standardized the OGG container format, and it has proven to be a great
  31 royalty free container for audio, video and movies.  I hope IETF will
  32 continue to standardize more royalty free codeces, after ISO and MPEG
  33 have proven incapable of securing everyone equal rights to publish
  34 multimedia content on the Internet.</p>
  35
  36 <p>IETF require two interoperating independent implementations to
  37 ratify a standard, and have so far ensured to only standardize royalty
  38 free specifications.  Both are key factors to allow everyone (rich and
  39 poor), to compete on equal terms on the Internet.</p>

  41 <p>Visit the <a href="http://opus-codec.org/">Opus project page</a> if
  42 you want to learn more about the solution.</p>
