On December 6, EVD technology providers, chip makers, hardware manufacturers, content providers and channel distributors gathered together in Beijing and announced their Beijing Declaration, stating that in 2008, all the members of the alliance will stop manufacturing standalone DVD players and will only produce EVD players and DVD-compatiable EVD players.

At the meeting, 20 major player manufacturers, such as TCL and Skyworth, showed 54 new EVD models with an average price at RMB 700, roughly equal to that of DVD. On the same day, the EVD content joint venture of Jindian Global, Zoke Culture Group and E-Filming Limited was formally established. In addition, the first 30 high-definition specialty shops inside Gome's home appliance malls and 800 independent EVD shops were declared open. The www.evdau.com, a website selling EVDs, was launched. "We will allow the Chinese audience to enjoy our high-definition services by offering the lowest prices, the most abundant resource of films and the most convenient service," said Zhang Baoquan, Secretary General of the EVD Industrial Alliance.
