It would have been too much to ask to have transitioned to a common
worldwide set of acquisition formats in DTV.
Yes, at the time there was still the perception that the differences
in frame rates could help protect domestic markets for certain CE
vendors.
And there is the nasty issue of still having to serve legacy receivers.
But there is hope. Variable frame rate acquisition technology is now
a reality, and is likely to become a feature of lower cost
acquisition gear in the future. Once this becomes commonplace we may
see more innovative use of other frame rates.
But I fear we may need to wait another decade until all of those old
CRT displays die...
