SMPTE Makes Its Standards Freely Accessible

At last. It's time the whole would gets on board with open standards that are truly open, and there is explosive devopment going on in the world of new approaches to media production and distribution that this can only aid.

It's net-head vs. Bell-heads all over again, and one of the biggest reasons for the success of the IETF standards was the no-cost availability of all their standards.

I don't understand why any standards body would consider not doing this as a default.

Off-topic, but also the title of the first album of the progressive supergroup Transatlantic.

What the heck is SMPTE?
