Yet another source of cellphone-type radiation is likely to be upon us soon
as computer giants Intel, IBM and Toshiba begin work with cellphone makers
Ericsson and Nokia to create a wireless computer networking system. The cellular
radio system, dubbed Bluetooth, allows computers and printers to communicate at
speeds of up to 721 kilobits per second. The developers have waived rights to
patents on the technology—due on the market in 1999—to ensure it is
widely adopted, a decision that led Microsoft to leave the consortium.
