Bluetooth SIG Firms Unable To Reach Agreement RDSL 10 January 2000 The Bluetooth Promoter group, comprising Microsoft, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, 3Com, IBM, Intel, Lucent and Toshiba have failed to reach agreement about which firms should head up nine technology working groups. The nine firms in the Bluetooth special interest group (SIG) were to announce the nine groups in December 1999 at the Lotus Developer Conference in Los Angeles, CA. SIG representatives denied that this was due to rifts in the group but admitted that secrecy concerns and the need to cater for nine different agendas could be slowing progress. Total Telecom.
