De Facto Standard
De Facto Standard : (ICT) This is a standard which has come into use because one company or technology dominates the industry. The other companies in the sector follow this standard when producing their products. For example 'VHS' became a de facto standard for viewing video instead of 'Betamax'. At the moment, Blu-ray and HD DVD are two technologies that are trying to become the industry standard for high definition DVDs. A de facto standard lacks formal approval and is not recognised by an official standards organisation. Companies often disagree and are constantly vying with each other to make the public accept their technology as the 'de-facto' standard, because which ever company wins will probably make a fortune by 'licensing' their technology
