David Berlind has written an interesting column about Bluetooth, communication protocols in general, and the coming of IPv6. A good read!
"Lately, my e-mail inbox has been resembling a bulletin board, thanks to a weeks-old raging thread that started with Bob Frankston's objection to my Bluetooth advocacy. Frankston, and his Software Arts co-founder Dan Bricklin are best known as the co-creators of VisiCalc, one of two software innovations (the other being MicroPro's WordStar) that put the "P" in PC. So, when an e-mail from Frankston asked me to reconsider my enthusiasm for Bluetooth, I dropped what I was doing, listened, and asked questions. Eventually, others were pulled into the thread, including industry pioneer David Reed and, Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) board chairman Mike Foley. Foley is also a wireless architect at Microsoft, playing a key role in the company's Bluetooth strategy." Source: Foo Fighter.
