"Days before the launch of high definition services on the terrestrial
Freeview platform, Ofcom has written to the BBC over the a variation in the
licensing of the HD multiplex brought about by its ownership of service
information contained within the so-called Huffman look-up tables.

In a letter to the BBC’s BBC head of distribution technology Graham Plumb,
David Harrison, Head of Broadcast and New Media Technology at Ofcom says the
regulator has received a large number of responses from consumers and
consumer groups that raise “potentially significant consumer ‘fair use’ and
competition issues”. The published responses are heavily weighted towards
consumers with little or no correspondence from the receiver manufacturers
or broadcasters who could be impacted by the plans."
