[M4IF Discuss] ("use" fees) Thanks Larry & another question.

[Paul Sergeant]

Hello Charles,
I did mean all of the above - but specifically for MPEG-4 side of things - 
I am wondering if there is going to be anything built into the MPEG-4 spec 
which will enable the usage tracking of a multicast 'single source - many 
viewers' style internet broadcasts of MPEG-4 encoded content, or whether 
that particular issue will be picked up by developers of streaming server 
software? Or indeed whether the network providers who host the streaming 
servers will be required to provision some solution along those lines?
Regards
Paul Sergeant
