I see this as evidence:
  1) the market doesn't need/want a standard
  2) Qualcomm isn't going to implement our standard, they already have their own.

Now that could be trivially be refuted if we saw clear participation from
qualcomm, but I haven't seen it yet.  But, maybe I missed it.

I await the charter.
So far I haven't seen something that is concrete enough to be useful on its own.
