UWB Standards Group Does Its Regular Nothing Doing Dance
At some point, you have to wonder why they even bother to get together and take a vote. The UWB standard, deadlocked for a year is going to remain exactly in the same deadlocked position. A year ago, everyone said that both sides would come out with chips, and by this time, there would be a de facto standard that everyone would agree on. Looks like they were wrong, and we've got more waiting to do. Every time the two sides get together and vote to do nothing is yet another opportunity slipping away for all of the players. This is a technology that could be incredibly useful, that is being held back by stubbornness and greed.
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
