Oh my, that's nearly half. Thinking about it, it's as bad as WiFi. Blasting everywhere was never efficient.

I'd say this is worse than Wi-Fi, since with Wi-Fi you only need to transmit a small amount of energy to get a signal through. Plus there's beam forming Wi-Fi access points now.

Wireless charging is basically a small version of Nikola Tesla's tower that he wanted to power cities wirelessly with. That never worked because it was horribly inefficient, so I'm not sure why people think this would be better.
