[MPEGIF Discuss] AVC-derived scalable video coding?

[Ben Waggoner]

Rob,
    Speaking of that, is there anything going on with that which can be
shared publicly.  I've said for the while that the lack of a good scalable
implementation is keeping MPEG-4 from being competitive in real-time
streaming over the public internet.
    In the interview I did with Leonardo Chiariglione at NAB, he said a good
scalable MPEG technology might not arrive until 2006.
