+<p>Selv om et epostvedlegg er nyttig for mottakeren, så håpet jeg å få

+
+<p>We appreciate the additional explanation you have provided and for
+asking our permission to publish the electronic copy of the License in
+advance of doing so. Typically, MPEG LA prefers to distribute the
+electronic copies of our Licenses to interested parties. Therefore,
+please feel free to send interested parties to the AVC portion of our
+website, http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Intro.aspx for
+their further reference.</p>
+
+<p>As previously mentioned, MPEG LA maintains a list of Licensees in good

+provide this level of detail to interested parties. Therefore, I am
+afraid we are not in a position to assist you with your request.</p>

-
-<p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
-
-<p>Thank you for your message and for your interest in MPEG LA. We
-appreciate hearing from you and I will be happy to assist you.</p>
-
-<p>To begin, I will assume that you are referring to AVC/H.264
-technology in your message below, as this technology is commonly used
-in the transmission of video content. In that case, please allow me
-to briefly summarize the coverage provided by our AVC Patent Portfolio
-License.</p>
-
-<P>Our AVC License provides coverage for end products and video
-services that make use of AVC/H.264 technology. Accordingly, the
-party offering such end products and video to End Users concludes the
-AVC License and is responsible for paying the applicable royalties
-associated with the end products/video they offer.</p>
-
-<p>While the Norwegian Broadcast Corporation (NRK) is not currently a
-Licensee to MPEG LA's AVC License (or any other Portfolio License
-offered by MPEG LA), if NRK offers AVC Video to End Users for
-remuneration (for example, Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free
-Television, or Internet Broadcast AVC Video), then NRK will need to
-conclude the AVC License and may be responsible for paying applicable
-royalties associated with the AVC Video it distributes.</p>
-
-<p>Today I will send you a FedEx package containing a copy of our AVC
-License for your review. You should receive the License document
-within the next few days.</p>
-
-<p>Meanwhile, MPEG LA currently has several Norwegian Licensees that
-can be found under the "Licensees" header within the respective
-portion of our website. For example, you may find our list of
-Licensees in Good Standing to our AVC License in the AVC portion of
-our website,
-<a href="http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensees.aspx">http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensees.aspx</a></p>
-
-<p>I hope the above information is helpful. If you have additional
-questions or need further assistance with the AVC License, please feel
-free to contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you again
-soon.</p>
