    The real question for many of us is: will this protocol enforce anti-user controls? Perhaps someone knows more about these standards.

    There are no details in the article, but I'm hoping for an optic-based connection. This can remove the length restrictions and electric interference. Not to mention the cable will be much cheaper.
