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.
