The release of the Bluetooth Specification was only the beginning of the Bluetooth story.
Now that there were technical specifications to guide the development of Bluetooth-enabled
devices, other companies started to jump on the Bluetooth bandwagon. Ericsson and the other
founding members of the Bluetooth SIG announced that the Bluetooth technology and brand
would be made available to other companies on a royalty-free basis—all they had to do was
join the Bluetooth SIG (also free of charge) and adhere to the SIG’s guidelines and the
Specification’s technical details.
