What good is a standard if it doesn't make devices interoperable?


Catcher pitcher model. Pitchers pitch, catchers decide what to catch. You want access to the 512 space, pick up the 512+ capable device.

Free market decides where it lands.

If there’s nothing of value at 512, it’ll naturally flop.


So why have a standard at all then? I want access to the Google Verizon space, I buy a Google Verizon device. The most flexible standard: one that imposes no requirements at all and allows vendors to do anything.
