Flash outwitting MPEG

Henry Sinnreich, key SIP developer, has moved from Pulver to Adobe. Henry has been working on video and peer to peer uses of SIP, and I suspect some interesting things are up. James Enck suggests "Contemplate for a moment the number of desktops globally which support some version of Flash (think "all of them"), then consider the growing number of sites/communities built in Flash (YouTube for a start), and then think about how Adobe might want to capitalize on that valuable real estate position by incorporating voice, video and presence. Then be afraid, be very afraid." Google, ABC, Brightcove and most new entrants streaming video over the net are choosing Flash because of unreasonable royalties from the MPEG LA, a scandal that deserves more reporting.

I thought they are using Flash because the swfs are flv files whcih use H263 encoding which makes em damn small (just like your gpp or 3gp files)
