Oh I’m aware we don’t have one global standards org, but generally at ISO, IETF, IEEE, ITU & IEC are all some that come to mind with some level of shared interest, however I wouldn’t say they act competitively to each other and tend to work collaboratively rather than competitively.
I suppose interestingly, to use your HDMI example, this is kind of what happens when you don’t have a central standards body handling this stuff, HDMI came from the television industry and DisplayPort came from the computing industry. There is no technical reason for both to exist, and one could have been adapted to fill the needs of both and become the one standard if it wasn’t for industry groups ultimately trying to profit (HDMI carries licensing fees and requirements, so does DP to a lesser extent).
I guess you’re right though, I probably should have thought it through a bit more before my last comment
Tbh it’s kinda funny how even within competition it can lead to standards 🤔 but we do on the other hand have old phone chargers before usb even tried to be standard 💀
I never thought about displayport coming from the computing, but yes unlike f.ex Hevc it’s outside of the ISO assorted groups 🤔
