The good news is that apparently the mass removed from my tongue is benign. We’ll know for sure next week. I am still planning to attend a special function that I can’t talk about at the Kennedy Library in Boston next week, assuming I can talk and eat by then.
When is the SP100 committee going to agree to develop a standard instead of pussyfooting around developing great books on the physics of radio? I don’t see anything but delaying, and at least one member of the committee has stated that he doesn’t believe we should have a standard, but rather a series of use cases to help people figure out how to use the proprietary wireless devices his company and others are rapidly beating the standard to market with.
If ISA can’t do something to head this off, we are back to where we were in the bad old SP50 days. ISA will become even more irrelevant than usual, and the IEC will impose a not necessarily-North-America-friendly standard on the world.
More as I feel better.
