Maybe, but there are real business reasons for investigating such
alternatives.

Yes, and the most popular patent encumbered format will soon no longer be
free for online content distributors (according to
http://www.mpegla.com/avc/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf, the free ride will end on 31
December 2010). That should IMO create some momentum to move to other
formats, as a per title cost could be prohibitively high.
