Three: I bow to your understanding of the market, but respectfully disagree.

A new technology if it is effective and economical, IMO, does not wait to be accorded approval of standards by either industry or govt.

There are any number of products proving this.

A new device, app, or software often comes to the market long before any standards groups are involved.

BetaMax vs VHS--the market voted for VHS because even though BetaMax put up a better picture, the tape limit was 2 hrs, unlike the competing VHS format that could record for up to 6 hrs.

If a movie was 2hrs 08 min. long--and if you were recording it on BetaMax, you would miss the ending climax. It was the public that chose VHS convenience and extra recording time over the superior quality format of BetaMax.

I believe if new technology comes available to stop most hacks, it will be gobbled up by hard-hit enterprises and maybe the public at large, long before any standards groups can mandate standards.

In some ways, the new product sets the standards, based on what it can do. For these products, the standards come later.

Of course the old way is an operable system, too. And there are some innovations that do follow changing standards (USB 3, USB 3.0+C), HDMI, component connections, optical connections, wifi, infrared, codecs, JPEGs, TIFFs, etc.

It's only my opinion about this and I certainly can be wrong.
