Yes, remember that the US and lots of other countries are moving to digital

Wouldn't it be cool if an Ogg video codec provided enough improvement in
compression over whatever MPEG current DTV uses (MPEG2? Think so...) that
the US would switch standards? By the time the COFDM vs. 8VSB issue is
played out, maybe we can have something... (I am personally involved in that
issue; talk to me if you don't have a clue (but want one).)
