'Economist' Calls For Open WiFi Specs

Posted by timothy on from the some-left-wing-commie-rag dept.

DavidNWelton writes "An interesting and well thought-out call for Wifi manufacturers to open up their specs, at least partially, written by The Economist. 'So it is hard to see what the problem is beyond a dog-in-the-mangerish desire not to give anything away. Time to open it up, boys.'"
