Good points, but when you say "no exclusivity agreements allowed" then you are having government get more into business. If a movie studio wants, for whatever reason, to only produce on one format, then they have that right. If they are paid to, then it make sense for their business, and is the right choice for them. This is not a classic monopolistic threat. This is a standards battle.

Not you, but I've seen so many Sony fans argue about the Paramount deal and they so easily ignore the exclusive BR studios. It's on both sides.
