July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0906r0 "Without the brains, creativity and vision of the 802.11 Working Group, we would still be tied to phone and computer cords, no mobile anything. Productivity as we know it today, on the go, would also be tied to a cord, tethered and held back. Standards carry the burden of being called 'boring' but how can anyone call boring the thing that literally lets our communications fly? The 802.11 Working Group has accomplished amazing things and it isn't done yet. Prepare to be astounded. - Stuart J.
