Doesn't sound like too much of a setback. I mean: "decided that the [US] should take no position regarding the addoption of ... [CIF]" sounds GOOD to me. In another group, someone posted that the FCC is doing extensive research into many standards. The US HDTV Standards Delegation would be STUPID to take a position before all of the facts were in. Especially since the FCC must approve of their decision to put the force of law behind the standard. --Glenn
