As I've said recently, I really wish that there was a standard that all APs would use and all controllers would use so that they could all talk together.  I know this is probably unlikely to happen, but we have interoperable wired networks and I just wish the same for the wireless side.  Maybe a universal controller is more realistic, something that understands how to talk to all types of APs.

Yes, I know I'm a starry eyed dreamer, but if we don't talk about this it may never happen.  I, for one, am not looking forward to the day when we have to somehow transition from 12,000 access points of one vendor to 12,000 from another and make the transition as seamless as possible.
