It's been a slow, painful death, but it's about time to just pull the white sheet over ultra-wideband and let the wireless standard rest in peace. After Intel
pulled its support for
UWB and proponent
WiQuest shut down late last year, all that the format really had left was
TZero. After successfully surviving some
legal issues, we thought the company was good to go in fighting a hopeless battle against wireless HD upstart
AMIMON. Now, it seems that
WHDI (that's AMIMON's magic) is free to take the market by storm, but only time will tell if wireless HD is even remotely close to
mainstream. In one sense, we're sad to see competition die, but on the other hand, it's always good to see fruitless
format wars fade away. Don't be too down on yourself, TZero -- it's not like anyone really had high expectations for you or anything.
