Re: Interesting
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. |
