From the Paper:

"Today the breakthrough wireless technology that bares the same name has similar intentions as Harald Blatand once did. It aims to unify all electronic devices under a common standard for short-range wireless communication. Bluetooth has the backing of over 2,000 companies including Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, and Nokia. Theses companies have unified under the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) who claim to be, "working together to define and promote an open, royalty-free specification for seamless wireless connectivity and cable replacement for a wide variety of mobility-enhancing devices". The project has been gaining momentum and support since its beginnings but some critics are not sure whether it will have the positive impacts many of its backers and consumers are hoping for. In recent months competition has become tougher from companies like Apple and Lucent who hope to put out their own standard of short-range wireless data transmission."
