  Oh, good, an outright lie. This is how a $2B company behaves - before they've turned a profit? If anything in the last 6 years, Google/Apple have made significant headway standardizing the 'Cast' workflow. If the hardware could, "receive, forward, and playback" sound from a network 5 years ago, it should be able to do so until the link is obsolete, every AP I've encountered supports all the way back to 802.11a from 15 years ago, and in the worst case you just bridge your APs. Apps are apps, networks are networks, if they're anticipating getting pushed out of this niche by the "ecosystem proprietors", Sonos is stupid and should realize that they just can't do anything about it and focus on their product development, pricing, their horrid marketing / website and not pissing away their multi-million dollar TV ad expenditure over the years on bad press. What happens if consumers turn on the music industry should they start tuning their EQ out of the box for fart noises, screaming, and 20 year old Asian women punching gak? What if it becomes economical to fill your whole house with water, maybe they should develop underwater speakers asap! Clean up your act, Sonos.
