There is an advantage for members of the Alliance to step out ahead of
the pack, especially if they build components used in both portables and
base stations, and then a lesser advantage that they still interoperate
with less advanced systems.
A group like the Alliance would be more interested in having the
technology implemented the same way for everyone, so as not to fragment
the business and reduce everyone's profits.
If either of those motivations provides a way in, then so much the
better. If the Alliance does a technical conference, a presentation on
how wired performance was improved might be interesting to their members.

It strikes me that the Wi-Fi Alliance might be able to help with the
marketing side of deployment once we solve the Wi-Fi specific

could help ensure that implementations actually work as advertised in
practice.
The trick of course is that membership with them is expensive and you
need to show a genuine business interest, rather than a technical one.
Maybe there's a back route for bringing technical things to their
attention.
If so, and if we can find it, we might start seeing "Responsive
Wi-Fi™" on boxes next year.
