And I just saw a couple brands of OGG playres in the local hardware market. Slowly such standards are getting recognition and the masses using ICTs (desktops and laptops in particular) should not give an excuse of "popularity and fisibility". afterall it is we who decide what we want to support. And supporting open unencumbered standards will bennifit us all. Att JTD, thanks for giving the ICICI example. Pragmatists unfortunately fall for such testimony and only except thinsg on such examples. Happy hacking.
