2 edits | Gotta love the IEEE trashing...
Clearly coming from people who have no clue about how the real world of standards works...
And there is a good reason why 802.11n is taking longer than the other standard to get agreed upon... There are more vendors in the wireless equipment arena that have the opportunity to comment on the process.
The problem isn't such much the IEEE as it is every vendor trying to get their own two cents in on what probably is a fine standard by now.

| You're absolutely right. I have no clue how the world of standards works.
This isn't trying to be insulting. I'm asking honestly. If IEEE isn't really the problem, then what can be done to accelerate the process in the future? Because this is definitely taking too long.

Earlier wireless standards working groups didn't have to start out with as any proposals... Additionally, back when the earlier standards were being written, you didn't have as many people involved because you only had a handful of vendors making the equipment.
Without changing the governing laws of the IEEE, there really would be no way to speed up approval process. The problem stems from the fact that all of the companies want feature X or process y to be a certain way in the standard. And since your are essentially dealing with a democracy that puts competing groups face to face, you have to realize that it is not going to be quick. The problem is the players. They need to realize that they are dragging everyone down and pushing back the release date on a product that will make them income.
