if only Rebol have submitted their tech to the DVB call for technologies!

 [1/4] from: david::may10::ntlworld::com at: 10-Feb-2008 1:35


Hello rebolist, its a shame and assume its now to late, ut it would have been cool if carl could have submitted rebol for inclusion to the DVB call for for technologies http://www.ibc.org/cgi-bin/ibc_dailynews_cms.cgi?story_no=24275&issue=5 ... The commercial requirements were included as an annex to the technical module's formal call for technologies for DVB-T2, which was addressed without restriction to any company that felt it had some technology to offer, whether or not that company was a member of the DVB Project. A total of 31 proposals from 21 companies were received by the DVB Project Office by the closing date in June. The complicated process of assessing these proposals and agreeing on which combination has the potential to meet the commercial requirements is now under way - and new inventions are not excluded. ... i wonder if its really to late, or perhaps they could submit something now if they had the balls to try ;) hell id love to see rebol view in all the DVB*2 specs as a generic part, after all DVB C2 , S2, T2 and H2 are the preferred EU wide long term choice so Rebol.Inc could benefit massively if their IP were taken onboard -- Best regards, david

Hi, altough R2 could have been a candidate, not sure it would have been such a good solution as-is. speed, and portability issues have been a thorn in many attempts by Carl and others to migrate REBOL into other targets and specialized uses. R3 is built from the ground up to be portable and much easier to adapt to different HW/OS needs. Its one of the few core reasons R3 had to be done. like any new technology, it has had to mature and finally, I think, with R3, REBOL will be able to evolve on its own wings, not just where/when Carl has time to bolt them on. people say R3 has been long in comming, yep. that's life. but new opportunities are always around the corner. Its Possible that REBOL will be ready when the next round of updates for this and other technologies will be called for. my 0.02 cents -MAx On Feb 12, 2008 4:34 PM, david may <david.may10-ntlworld.com> wrote:
