Interesting how the group was let off. This setback will only increase the length of time that Wimax can be a monopoly. I hope it does not take long for the standard to be revamped.

IEEE committees are taking way too long to develop and validate standards. Technology and the companies backing the new technologies just won't wait any longer for the IEEE to do its work. Aside from the obvious ethical dilemma created in the 802.20 committee, the IEEE needs a much more drastic overhaul of its whole standards process if it is to remain even moderately relevant.

The IEEE seems to work just fine for everyone except corrupt companies without proper moral and ethical grounding and their shills.

Well, it works fine for anyone who wants to wait a few years for the world's technology to pass by and make its standards obsolete.

Speed to market is key here, and IEEE has been ignoring that for far too long. They are the current poster child for "letting the perfect become the enemy of the good."

IEEE standards are the best thing that has happened to technology. Without standards, we'd have the BluRay/HD DVD debate about EVERYTHING...Linksys gear wouldn't work with Netgear stuff....you and I could only connect with each other if our ISPs used Cisco routers. Look at what happened with the "pre N" wireless stuff...it was a mess.

The industry is very good at coming up with new technology...the the child in these engineers needs grown up engineers at the IEEE to make them settle down so they don't hurt themselves.

IEEE enabled Wifi to the masses at very cheap prices.

The only bad actor I see here is Qualcomm.
