Here is the "Blue-ray disc" announcement issued from Tokyo, dated
February 19, 2002. I really have no idea how far this will go. The
fact that Philips and Sony are together is significant. The fact
that the global standard of "MPEG-2 Transport Stream" will be used
along with newly developed (2001) 405nm blue-violet laser are also
significant.
