Bluetooth is (initially) just a replacement for cables - connecting a 

device to other devices which are very close. To connect to the internet, 

other technologies are appropriate (GSM/GPRS/etc)

Phones already have bandwidth to them. Bluetooth doesn't change anything 

wrt phone capabilities.


The only situation I can see Bluetooth providing internet bandwidth is by 

enabling a device (e.g. an MP3 player) to connect to a phone - which then 

in turn connects to the internet.
