+ <description><p>Yesterday, <a href="http://www.ietf.org/">IETF</a> announced the
+publication of of
+<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716">RFC 6716, the Definition
+of the Opus Audio Codec</a>, a low latency, variable bandwidth, codec
+intended for both VoIP, film and music. This is the first time, as
+far as I know, that IETF have standardized a multimedia codec. In
+<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3533">RFC 3533</a>, IETF
+standardized the OGG container format, and it has proven to be a great
+royalty free container for audio, video and movies. I hope IETF will
+continue to standardize more royalty free codeces, after ISO and MPEG
+have proven incapable of securing everyone equal rights to publish
+multimedia content on the Internet.</p>
+
+<p>IETF require two interoperating independent implementations to
+ratify a standard, and have so far ensured to only standardize royalty
+free specifications. Both are key factors to allow everyone (rich and
+poor), to compete on equal terms on the Internet.</p>
