Good post Ed.

AdonisSMU: How has what Ed's posted support Google's move?

The license fees are small change and the fee increases for the next 5 year are capped at 10%.

WebM isn't technically superior to H.264, it's not even as good, and has zero hardware support (which takes a very long time).

In addition WebM are likely to be patent encumbered, google doesn't provide patent protection, nor is their a way to easily license such patents.

Where's the support for Google's move?
