The 802.11n Draft 1.0 -- the most recent version of next-generation wireless technology -- garnered 12,000 comments from the standards-setting group IEEE according to a WNN report. To be ratified, the draft spec must be approved by 75 percent of the voting membership, and the high volume of comments indicates that a finalized version of 802.11n is well over a year away. Bottom line: buying draft-compliant products this early out may (or may not) end in non-compatibility -- and wasted money -- when the dust finally settles.
