[backstage] IMDA metadata

[Robert Binney]

Hi

Just wondered if any of you guys out there have had any truck with the

we are with metadata in the world of Internet Radio?

Best wishes

 What’s the bottom line - Do you want to be a leader or a follower?

Do we really need another closed industry consortium?

I don't see anything on the site about public accountability, patent

cheers,

Dan
