HomeRF Working Group Disbands
Basically conceding that WiFi has won the battle for wireless home networking, the HomeRF Working Group has disbanded and says they don't plan to push the standard for commercial use any more. If this, in any way, surprises you, then you've probably been living in a cave (with HomeRF, of course). It's been pretty clear that HomeRF was doomed for some time. Of course, that doesn't mean that other standards won't come along to challenge WiFi's dominance in wireless home networking - but the battle is over for this round.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
