The problem appears to be that AirPlay / Bonjour devices will not play any other games, you accomodate them at whatever cost, or you lose their proponents. I have issues with wireless video streaming in the first place (it's not the proper media), but going wireless-to-wireless with it is doubling the airwaves cost. And if you have thin APs and central controller, you're likely doubling your controller traffic as well. It just DOES NOT FIT an enterprise wireless network. You can try to drop it locally off of the APs onto the local network, but now you're no longer on the enterprise network... WiFi Direct just introduces more interference and airwave congestion. Not exactly an enterprise solution. If they would play in 5G where there is some room for competition, perhaps; but it's a death knell for b/g 2.4G.
