": if people look at alternatives, there might not even be need for
licensing terms and MPEG-LA. "
I'd like to know what alternatives you are talking about.  MPEG-4 is about,
above all, interoperability.  What truly interoperable alternatives are
there?  AFAIK, everything else is a proprietary solution.  IMO, THIS point
is what they don't get. 
If the proprietary solutions are cheaper and solve the content providers
requirements, who cares if they are proprietary?
