It's free to implement, but just because it's an open standard doesn't mean that everything associated with it is free. WMA is an example of a codec which isn't an open standard.
Nokia have invested heavily for years in pushing AAC/HE-AAC, a format that is now seeing wider adoption generally . Nokia are probably looking at it from the point of view this is just another format they have to support, and complicates things for the average user rather than simplifies them.Business or the consumer support for web 2.0 rubbish and probably means the overall hardware quality will go down to cover for the cost of all this new stuff.Hopefully they will stay making a few decent phones because in the past they have been quite.Thanks,<a class="user" href="http://www.onlineflashgames.org">http://www.onlineflashgames.org</a><a class="user" href="http://www.bid-directory.net">http://www.bid-directory.net</a>

The only people worried about DRM are the asshats that buy mp3's on itunes. scene rips have no DRM.

Try building a player for those formats and see how much you have to bend over for the licensing fees.

Only in countries that allow software patents. In other countries, you can safely ignore them.

DRM aside, Nokia have invested heavily for years in pushing AAC/HE-AAC, a format that is now seeing wider adoption generally (even Flash player plays it now, although Quicktime/iTunes are dragging their feet a tad). Nokia are probably looking at it from the point of view that Ogg is just another format they have to support, and complicates things for the average user rather than simplifies them.Believe me, if Nokia wanted to put DRM into Ogg, they'd find a way. Pointless though.<a class="user" href="http://chat.paramegsoft.com/">http://chat.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.directory.paramegsoft.com/">http://www.directory.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://girls.paramegsoft.com">http://girls.paramegsoft.com</a>
