I kinda doubt that BlueTooth will need to be turned
off. It uses the 2.4Ghz spectrum and it is already so
crowded, I doubt that a 20 foot range BlueTooth device
will affect anything...besides, when BlueTooth is
fully implemented, it will be an "always-on"
technology so the only way it can be turned off is to
completly power-down the device...in some cases this
will mean removing the batteries!
