Lee, Here's a bit of the opposition.
Search for products with Glass in the name: https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=default&sort_order=desc&keywords=glass Zero hits Search for products with Google in the name: https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=default&sort_order=desc&keywords=google 3 hits, all sony TV's using android Iphone 6: https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=default&sort_order=desc&categories=4&keywords=iphone%206&companies=5 Nada Chromecast https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=default&sort_order=desc&keywords=chromecast ZIP The point I'm making, the WiFi alliance provides a certification. No manufacturer is required to seek it. In fact, when was the last time you looked for the logo on the box when you bought a laptop/router/phone/etc? In the early days, as you alluded to, not having that certification on the box was a death knell to sales, because people had just recently lived thru the nightmare of incompatible equipment (HomeRF anyone?), understood the importance, and enforced it with their wallet.. Now a days, people just expect it to work. So they don't even look.
