The UK cabinet office prolongs its open standards consultation and accuses the advisor of its round table of a commercial conflict of interest. There would be another round table. The previous round table was accused of bias, and participants strongly argued in favour of FRAND licensing of digital standards.

For this reason any outcomes from the original roundtable discussion will be discounted in the consultation responses and we will rerun that session and give time for people to prepare for it. We will also run a teleconference as well as a meeting to ensure that everybody has a chance to participate." Best, André
