The IEEE is offering its 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus standard as a free download to interested users. The terms of use are the same as those we described for the 802.11n Wireless LAN standard. Specifically, the IEEE maintains the copyright to the document in all forms and it limits users to downloading one copy for personal use and one additional copy as a personal archive.
