Surprisingly well written and just detailed enough to not leaving wanting more or overwhelmed. I never really got in to ANT+ land with cycling but the couple things I tried I appreciated how easily they paired up. Bluetooth feels like the obvious next place but with so much momentum behind ANT+ I wonder how long this transition will take.

If I read this piece correctly, is that going forward the suppliers are going to develop their own protocols. They find Bluetooth development to onerous.

It feels like the fitness brands need to come together and shut out the BT SIG and all fitness profiles should come out of that new consortium - which would be a formalising of what Wahoo did with the Kickr protocol.

In reality we'll probably end up with a lot of shitty apps on your phone which may or may not successfully sync to your main fitness platform.

It would be a totally EU move to state that fitness gadgets need to support certain common protocols; think USB-C for charging.
