Ehsan's Insight
Agent-to-agent protocols are where the industry was with web services in 2001: everyone knows interoperability matters, nobody agrees on the standard. Google's A2A protocol is the strongest contender, but adoption requires critical mass that has not been achieved. The business implication: build your agents with clean, documented interfaces that can adapt to whichever protocol wins. The companies that hard-code agent communication patterns will spend 6 months refactoring when a standard emerges. The companies that abstract communication into a clean layer will swap protocols in a week.
