    It came down to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be the wireless network standard. For a hot minute it wasn’t clear who would come out the winner.

    I can’t find shit about it though. It was around 2000ish.

      You’re probably thinking about homerf, which was the competitor to WiFi. I don’t think Bluetooth was ever marketed as an alternative to WiFi.

      Bluetooth has it’s own stack. Wifi typically runs tcpip. Your post doesn’t even make sense because both wifi and Bluetooth coexist today so clearly there was no “winner”.

      Oh wow, I’m glad Bluetooth lost given that it’s vastly inferior. I mean we’re even starting to see wifi headphones now, soon Bluetooth will be relegated to legacy devices.
