[MPEGIF Discuss] [systems] First Usage MPEG-4 system in Korea !

Dear Mr Young-Kwon,

It is very interesting to know what you wrote in your answer.
I read that your target is mobile telephony (or maybe PDA wireless).
Do you investigate the feasibility of extending your application to other
physical layers (such as video over DSL or DTT)
I try to understand it from your web site, but I do not speak or read
korean.

Thank you again,
Igino MANFRE'

withinH264 ?


Dear Igino Manfre

I just want to inform you that there is a service planning to use MPEG-4
Systems for broadcasting interactive contents. Korea is introducing new
broadcasting service for mobile reception early next year which is adopti=
ng
MPEG-4 BIFS for the interactive contents. It will be the world first
commercial broadcasting service based on MPEG-4 Systems.

Sincerely,
