One of the most common concerns about such combinations is interference. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi use the same set of airwaves, posing a potential to clash in close range. But so far, Putcher said, UPS hasn't told analysts of any interference problems. Aaron Vance, a wireless analyst with Synergy Research believes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will begin partnering not only in huge warehouses, which are already highly automated, but also in printers and personal digital assistants at home and work. Handheld computers, for instance, could use a Wi-Fi network to download a large presentation for a business meeting, then use Bluetooth to send the information to a printer, he said.

Verizon, Sprint, Cingular and Nextel, for example, continue to bill customers on a month-to-month basis under the same terms and conditions as their original contracts after their contracts expire. In the case of AT&T Wireless, many customers become aware of the unique clause only after they receive a sizable monthly bill. Pat McNulty, a mother of two in Monterey, Calif., said she recently received a $100 bill from AT&T Wireless for her daughter's monthly service, which is normally $29.99. When she called AT&T Wireless customer service to question the charges, she was told her daughter's contract had expired, as had the "promotional" extra weekend and evening minutes previously covered in the plan.
