Shimano 105 shoudl have it by 2014 or so and Tiagra etc by 2015-2016.
So is there a problem that electronic shifting solves?
Frankly, Your post sounds more to me like "We're going to force electronic shifting down your throat." than "Here's how electronic shifting is going to improve your bicycling experience."
