Just a random thought I'd be interested in hearing other views on.

As with many technologies, we have an early wave of very high end products, and always a small group of "latest tech fans" that simply want the best, even if they may not actually and honestly have a need for it.

And that's great. People like this spur companies to push forward, and gives them an early payback for all the R&D they put into creating new more advanced/faster hardware.

However, this is of course only a tiny percentage of potential customers, and then as a manufacturer you need to entice the next level of customers to purchase your new tech.

Obviously a price drop, and/also finding ways to adding this new tech into lower priced devices.

At the same time, adding a few bells and whistles to the very high end models to keep these models for those who want the best still.

You can continue along this path for some time, but there's always going to come a point where what was the latest cutting edge needs to filter down to mass market pricing.

1080p was cutting edge high end, and now it's low end

4K was OMG it's amazingly high end, and now probably every home TV being sold now is 4K as standard, even low price models are 4K.

The same with 5G. Remember only a few years ago Apple and their 5G 5G 5G 5G announcement.

Now 5G is just expected in any handset.

And now we have WiFi 7

I'd take a guess that 99.9% of normal people in normal homes, simply using phones/tablets in the home won't notice any difference moving from their 5Ghz WiFi to WiFi 7.

It's a hard sell, as unlike at least with a TV which you can see if you walk up to it that it looks better, even though you'd probably not at normal viewing distances in many homes.

With WiFi it just works and allows you to see emails, browse the web and look at some social media.

So It's a pretty hard sell to try and get hundreds of millions to spend hundreds of $ for nothing they will honestly every probably notice.

Will all this said, how long do you think it's going to be before WiFi 7 simply becomes a basic standard everyone jus expects any cheap WiFi router to have?

Do you think we need to see 1 company break thru with a good cheap model for the BIG guys to have to lower pricing?

Interested in your views on ho long (many years) before we get there?
