"How companies envision the future as a whole and the individual parts!'

"The Open Interconnect Consortium — which includes Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Samsung Electronics and General Electric (NYSE:GE) — announced its "IoTivity" open-source standards project last month. It aims to create a software framework to enable billions of smart devices to find each other and work together. Certified IoT devices could begin to reach the market by December."

"Oleg Logvinov sees the goal of establishing a standard as taking the many discrete communications, processing, programming and other protocols and approaches now competing and turning them into a single, unified approach to develop IoT's underlying infrastructure."

As important as the issues are, some see it as an issue that can be administered by open-source standards . Or, collecting all the currently available methods and combining them as a unified approach.

Amazing, if any one of the big names had what e.Digital patented, they would not be involved in such nonsense and would be telling the others..." I'm going off on my own, I already have something that is interoperable(unifying) and fast in dealing with the massive, independent platform industry standards, see you guys later."

Such a company would not want to be associated with "open-source standards"....and would highlight that to its prospective customers.

Here we go again...however, this time, I would suspect, e.Digital has had talks with the likes of Intel and many others...defining all the pieces to them that they may, or may not, be aware of yet.

They all want to enterprise, and the path to that is not through open-source standards...Or mix match combinations of existing methods.

The facts are, to us anyway, mass storage is moving to semiconductor, and e.Digital has key concepts to that media.
