Nokia has put its weight behind the WWiSE proposal: WWiSE and the competing TGn Sync consortium have a similar set of ideas, but WWiSE says that it's approach provides more optional extensions that will make it easier to have a subset of devices with room to grow in the future instead of burdening all devices with the load of meeting certain difficult-to-implement technologies. TGn Sync says, "Pshaw" to that.
The 802.11n task group will vote next week during an IEEE meeting. If either proposal receives more than 50 percent of the votes, it will move forward, but requires 75 percent of votes at this or the next meeting to be accepted as the basis of drafts. If the majority winning never achieves the supermajority through compromise, they all take one step backwards.
