SCTE considering a 3D over cable standard

In another small step along the road to proper 3D at home, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers announced its standards program is looking into 3D content delivery over cable networks. Apparently planning to "consider" work already under way by SMPTE, CEA and others, the SCTE's 3D over Cable project is mostly committed to figuring out how existing standards might need to change to support 3D. There's no way to know if this will even lead to an additional standard, but you can believe the cable giants want their say in how 3D at home develops and whether they're ready to jump on the bandwagon.
