I left Edina after my sophomore year. It's interesting that you wrote now; my parents surprised me recently by announcing they were moving to Edina in their retirement, and I'm helping them move in at the end of the month. Benjy,

The new standard is supposed to offer speeds around 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps (theoretically 600 Mbps) — how could you not look forward to speeds like that? Meanwhile today there are reports that indicate that the latest draft of the 802.11n standard (draft 2.0) has been approved by IEEE working group in charge [via WiFiNetNews]. Yay, the standards train is starting to move.

In fact, the latest draft was approved by the IEEE task force today. There are likely to be small changes going forward, but certainly nothing that cannot be corrected in software. This means that systems shipping in February will be 99.99% compliant. The mere act of shipping these products assures that no vendor will throw sand into the gear of the standards body (and oh do they turn slowly) and risk stranding a large installed user base.

I am sitting in the 802.11 working group meeting in London right now, and we have just voted overwhelmingly to send the draft out for another letter ballot vote. The vote was important enough that the chair required a rising vote, though a look around the room made it obvious that it passed; final count was 100-0 with five abstentions. This is a big milestone for the process because the nine-month slog to resolve the 12,000 initial comments is complete. It’ll be interesting to see how many comments the new draft gets.

This is a significant milestone from a lot of different directions. It’s one thing to achieve a 75-percent supermajority necessary to advance a draft into its final stages, which is just the tweaking and fixing that brings it to ratification with no significant alterations. It’s another to get the bag of cats that are the stakeholders in the task group to vote unanimously.
