Free ITU Standards, Yepiee

Posted by Sachin Garg on 12th December 2006 | Permanent Link

We all know about ITU’s liberal ‘annual 3 free standards’ policy (thanks to Mark’s articles at his blog and at DDJ).

Now they have gone a step forward and from next year there are no limits on it. You can download as many as you want, free (Thanks to Pete Fraser for bringing this to our attention :-)

For the uninitiated ones, this includes many major audio/video/imaging standards including jpeg2000.
