The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) is responsible for promoting and developing business opportunities for Blu-ray Disc - the next-generation optical disc format for storing high-definition movies, games, photos and other digital content.
The Blu-ray and HD DVD battle has entered a new era, as preliminary Nielsen VideoScan stats show the BDA's baby sold more -- a ratio of 100 Blu-ray to every 98.71 HD DVD discs, sorry still no hard numbers here -- since their inception last year.
ENGADGET: Blu-ray surpasses HD DVD in disc sales for the first time HD
According to research firm BDA, China has around 220 million Internet users--nearly three times Germany's entire population.
But the BDA's Scottish committee said the "target-driven" qualifying criteria would mean more practices might abandon all health service patients to focus solely on private work.
BBC: It is hoped Polish dentists will help bridge the dental gap
The British Dental Association (BDA) accredits toothpastes which demonstrate dental health benefits - such as reduced decay and healthier gums - to an independent panel of experts.
Duncan Clark, chairman of consultancy BDA China, told the BBC that the deal was a win-win for both companies.
The BDA scored a big PR win when they announced that Target would only sell Blu-ray players.
If they did then these numbers would have more significance, but regardless the BDA will be bragging to the content creators that they have sold more "Blu-ray players" than HD DVD, but of course that will only work for so long if all those PS3 owners don't buy any movies.
But as was the case in console-based gaming, the Chinese government has intervened, says Ning Liu, an analyst at BDA. Licensing of new versions of foreign games has been delayed, and local firms have gradually learnt to develop their own products.
The BDA estimates that about 570 dentists are needed across England and Wales to make a significant difference to NHS access problems - a slight increase on last year's figure.
