        By “WiFi” I mean the wireless protocol, which is confusing because that includes Bluetooth.

            That’s the data on top of it. Some sort of universal sharing protocol would have some kind of broadcast, either over a LAN or over the air, then there would be a handshake which would exchange MACs and cryptographic keys, then the actual exchange of data.

            It would have nothing to do with Bluetooth, it would just use the 802.11 public use bands.
