Have you read the specs? A proprietary binary blob is still required. The proposal is only for a standardized interface with that binary blob. If that binary blob is not provided for a particular platform then you are left out in the cold, as before.

Gee, you think news sites may have multimedia? Naaahhh...
- cheald 13y agoYes, I certainly have. I thought that perhaps you hadn't because you kept using the verb "read" rather than "watch" or "listen", which would actually apply to this discussion. I'm quite well aware that binary blobs are required for the CDM. The requirement of a license server and server-side encryption compatible with a client-deployed CDM would still be prohibitive for the "small fish" (after all, if they cared, they could just use Flash or Silverlight like is done today).
- jlgreco 13y agoI suppose I am not as confident as you that small fish would stay out of the game. If. I was, my only objection would be that all things proprietary need to stay away from standards.
