Agree - I won't go to NBC.com because of the codec
This is a really disappointing announcement from the standards body. I had high hopes that a standard would be set and embraced for an open and free video format in HTML 5. Not having a video standard removes one major benefit of having a 5.0 revision and will probably slow down adoption rates. We have needed a free standard for a long time. Complex licensing and patent restrictions for something everyone needs and uses is just ridiculous.
