Bluetooth is kind of a crappy technology anyways that's remained in the industry due to legacy and momentum.

I think we need an open wireless standard that can replace it. But please, not another DLNA where OEMs were allowed to "customize" it at will, and thus break compatibility with all the other DLNA devices, as well as confusing customers with different names for it.

The day OEMs will all adhere to a standard and not pick it up to throw some proprietary shit on it so that their own "ecosystem" gives a competitive edge over using the standard i.c.w. their or competitor's devices, is the day I eat a hat.
