Hopefully this means that interoperable wireless power is one step closer to reality as two of the companies trying to comercialize the technology are now the same." (US readers, read "administration" as "bankruptcy.")

    I thought tesla already perfected wireless power and the US government covered it all up. Didn't he once drive a electric car using a wireless power source he made from a few bucks in parts from a radio shop?
