Still lagging in terms of formats in government/broadcasting:

EuroparlTV for everyone? No, only for users of proprietary software!

,----[ Quote ]
| Is it so hard to deliver the service in a free (as in freedom), standardized 
| format? I will let answering these questions to you, but keep in mind that 
| there are alternatives to this whole proprietary mess, like Ogg, which are 
| completly free.
