said by richardpor  :It is case of engineering vs. marketing: think Dilbert. Engineers want to tinker on the product but marketing rules the corporate world, the lords of chaos. Engineers say we need to work on the 802.11N but marketing say no it good enough get it out the door today; I promised customer we will have 1000 unit on his shelf by last week. We can patch thing up later. That about sums it up!!!!

It's "finalized" in the sense that there's a draft that was sent to letter ballot. It ain't perfect; there are bound to be errors in a document that big and complex. People vote "no" to ensure that their comments are considered by the group. This is SOP in the IEEE; the draft will go through a couple of iterations of balloting until the group agrees that all the non-negligible errors have been rung out.
But the press have magazines to sell and websites to promote (like this one), so they spin this like it's some big thing. |

Re: Not Finalized yet?
said by jbob :Not that I really follow it but I thought the 802.11N standard had already been finalized. If not guess I better pay more attention. I had wondered why some of the articles were still calling these new routers Pre-N or first draft. No just like everything else they want to push it out the door and let it work itself out.all while they line there pockets lol.
