What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
Over 30 years MPEG has established its reputation and developed a robust process of standards development. The merit and competitive based technology selection process results in the best of the best winning technologies for the MPEG standards. I believe that MPEG will continue to follow its past success in developing new standards. It is interesting to see the competitive landscape of patent pools and licensing of MPEG technologies. The past success of MPEG patent pools and licensing programs did encourage the active participation of MPEG standards development and resulted in more companies invested and more IPs have been included in the standards. It seems that the management of MPEG patent pools and technology licensing (aka the cost of implementing MPEG technologies) will be an important factor impacting how future MPEG standards development and their success.
