The difference between creating a standard and adopting it is a rather substantial one. LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Five world leaders in telecommunications and electronics joined forces on Wednesday to introduce a new technology to allow seamless communications between mobile phones and computers. Sweden's Ericsson, Japan's Toshiba Corp, Finland's Nokia and U.S. Intel Corp and IBM revealed a new ''open'' standard dubbed ''Bluetooth'' they hope will change the way the world works and thinks about communications on the move. ****************************************** The partners said the Bluetooth open standard has already adopted by other companies including Motorola, Lucent, Compaq and 3Com. Ericsson's Siberg said he also expected equipment makers like Germany's Siemens and France's Alcatel to be bitten by Bluetooth soon. ****************************************** ''It's quite interesting that Ericsson and Nokia are on the same stage together with computer giants as Intel and IBM. It shows the PCs are getting smaller and that the convergence with communication companies is increasing,'' he continued. Intel said it expected to do more development work with Nokia and Ericsson.
