Bluetooth SIG fees going up

The Bluetooth SIG has announced listing fee changes.  Currently, if you build a 2540-based device using TI's design and BLE stack, the Bluetooth End-Product-Listing fee is usually free.

Effective Feb. 2014, the same listing will cost $8000.  There is a one-time exception for 'innovators' for whom the listing fee is only $2500.   Details at bluetooth.org (members only, but associate membership is free).
