Blu-ray Founders Working on One-Stop Blu-ray Licensing

Panasonic, Philips, and Sony are currently working with Blu-ray Disc patent holders in order to create a “one-stop shop” for Blu-ray player and disc licensing. Hardware manufacturers would be charged $9.50 for a Blu-ray Disc player and $14.00 for a recorder. Disc manufacturers would be charged $0.11 for a read-only disc, $0.12 for a recordable disc, and $0.15 for a rewritable Blu-ray disc.
