With more consumers obtaining HDTV content, and given that high-def programming brings in and helps retain high-paying customers, MPEG-4's impact may be felt in the pocketbook. 'Because MPEG-4 will support more HD, it will lead to a better customer-satisfaction rating' for pay-TV companies, says SkyStream's (Francois) Modarresse."
