[edit]Not very NPOV. Maybe a description of the protocol?
- Pretty blank and POV-less I thought. If it makes it look like Microsoft are being difficult and proprietary on purpose, for business reasons, that's probably because they are. Though the article doesn't point that out. What else can be said about it?
- A description may not easily be possible, or may be quite involved and complex, since it's a piece of driver software with a very specific context. It may also be difficult to get authoritative information since Microsoft choose not to publish it. The state of the reverse-engineering involved might not lend itself to easy and clear explanation. 188.29.165.69 (talk) 15:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Citation needed for RNDIS USB not being available on later Android models
[edit]From the page currently:
Some versions of Android include RNDIS USB functionality, while more recent versions (such as Nexus 6P in September 2016) do not.
I think this claim needs a source or further explanation, because I'm accessing this site right now through a Nexus 6P over RNDIS.
