Bluetooth Support on Verizon Wireless

We the undersigned request that Verizon offer and support Bluetooth, a low power (battery friendly) short range (30 feet) wireless technology.

Bluetooth is a wireless standard to offer cableless connectivity with cellphones, computers, headsets (Jabra), printers and other electronic devices. Most of the major cell phone companies now offer Bluetooth cell phones (Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson and others).

Bluetooth is also currently supported by many vendors, including Palm (Tungsten TT), Compaq (some iPaq's), Apple (PowerBook 12 and 17, iSync), Fujitsu (some laptops) and Sony (some computers). Bluetooth keyboards, mice, camcorders, digital cameras, robots and appliances are also or will be available.

Reports indicated that many more Bluetooth applications will be introduced over the next year, including applications in automobiles (BMW, Chrysler), tags for kids, pens, game systems (Nintendo Gameboy) and even GPS Receivers (Earthmate), with much more to come in the future.

Bluetooth compliments WiFi as it has much lower battery drain and shorter distance - up to thirty feet. While Cable vendors may not welcome Bluetooth, customers will benefit greatly with universal connectivity.
