      Like the USB-C fiasco, this stifles competition and progress for standards.

      Now we have to wait for whatever group controls WI-FI aware to come up with new tweaks, while innovation to keep ahead of the pack would have done it quicker.

      I hope Apple keep both standards but develop their own simultaneously.

      More anti-innovation, anti-consumer, anti-business, and anti-risk behavior by the EU. EU bureaucrats leech onto the heavy lifting done by others.

      I know Europe likes this but you got to let the market decide this. If the consumer is unhappy with Apple’s wifi system they’ll stop buying them and Apple will then have to change. This is just gov overreaching

      we used to see trolls from the east, now they come from the west – zeitgeist ?

      Great! People that criticize this should ditch all of their USB and Wifi devices and ask their favorite manufactures for proprietary connectors and wireless protocols.

      Got to love the Yanks in the comments shilling for the billionaires that take advantage of their ignorance. Apples tech is designed to be overpriced and anti consumer.

      Finding common standards is important when promoting competitiveness when it comes to major platform holders. Without these inroads, platforms spin into oligopolistic/monopolistic entities.

      According to platform theory, between platforms, there is one winner and a few that compete for the second spot. This is due to network effects, which promote ‘winner takes it all’ outcomes. It’s why platforms are comparable to ‘natural monopolies’ and should therefore get more focus if regulators are serious about maintaining a free competitive market.

      Finding the correct places to regulate is a difficult task. But I am glad that the EU is willing to tackle the issues that arise from platform and ecosystem business models when it comes to maintaining a competitive market.
