The DVD Forum has started to implement region coding into the HD-DVD standard - after the first discs and players have already shipped.

The Forum was initially praised for not dividing up the world in the same way that DVD has - meaning that consumers are free to import foreign films without restriction. However, for an unknown reason (although we suspect that the reason is pressure from the major film studios), the Forum is now looking at ways to bring region coding back in, although there are no details yet of exactly how it will look to divide the regions.
