M4IF News Readers,
It's been quiet on this list for almost a month, since
ISMA And M4IF Announced the Joint
Interoperability Testing Program
last month at
IBC 2002.
That work is now well underway with companies connecting clients
to servers to test MPEG-4 streaming according to ISMA specs.
Meantime, M4IF continues the growing interop work, now in its 4th
Round.
Much more has happened in that month, though. Let's sum up some of the news.
