Took them bloody long enough. I think we've had "pre-N" and "draft-N"
products on the market for something like two years now.

You miss the point, a whole group of diverse people working through the
views to come to one. The standard. Good things take time as the cheese ad
says.

This is much better than the defacto (read $ way ) of doing it. Beta vs VHS,
HD-DVD vs Blue Ray to name two examples.

Even the cell phone folks, including Steve, have agreed on a common plug.

I care not what the standard is so much, but that there is one.
