RFID tags gaining in popularity but
consumer beware 07/01/2004 03:53 PM

Some big names in business are investing serious cash in researching RFID tags. I have no doubt that RFID tags will be on virtually everything including embedded in clothes, consumer products etc. I am aware of the power of tracking products consumable products from cradle to grave.

Imagine buying some steaks at Costco and taking them home and when you put them in your refrigerator you push a inventory button and your Wifi connected fridge broadcast the updated information to your computer. You want to see where those steaks came from login to your PC and connect to national database which includes information that gives you DOB of the Steer, what the animal was fed, what type of injections it had, what processing plant processed the meat, where it was stored, what temperature variations the meat was subjected etc.

Does this sound far-fetched. Well I challenge that in 5 years or less this will be possible. But I caution you this could be a two way street. You buy a pack of cigarettes at Walmart on your debit card this purchase is tracked and then your life insurance company buys a profile about your buying habits and then send you a rate increase because now you are a high risk client in that you are a candidate for lung cancer.

Think about that the next time you see a RFID tag. [Infoworld]

RFID Tags Don't Work That Well 11/03/2003 12:21 PM
For all the focus on how RFID tags could lead to invasions of privacy or how Wal-Mart is going to use them in all parts of their operation, one thing that many people have apparently overlooked is the fact that the technology still isn't all that reliable. I'm sure it will get better and the problems will get fixed, but this report points out that the technology doesn't work all that well sometimes. Everyone admits that RFID systems are likely to become a big thing, but the timing may not be as fast as has been predicted. In fact, some are wondering if the smaller companies providing RFID technology will be able to stay in business long enough.

RFID tags in Benetton clothing

RFID tags in Benetton clothing 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
Benetton is buying 15 million RFID (radio frequency identification) tags to attach to the labels in their clothing as an anti-theft measure. People are freaked out (again) about privacy issues, but the reality (at least today) is that the range of RFID tech is too short for someone to drive by your house and scan your closet. Still, it does make sense to zap the tags out of commission once items are paid for. Link Discuss

U.S. Pressures China Over WAPI

U.S. Pressures China Over WAPI 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Three big wigs in the Bush administration sent a letter to China's deputy prime ministers urging them to back off the plan to ban Wi-Fi gear that doesn't include a Chinese-made proprietary encryption standard: The letter came from Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and U.S. trade representative Robert Zoellick. Last year the Chinese government released its proprietary standard, known as WAPI, to a group of Chinese companies and said that any foreign company that wanted to sell Wi-Fi gear in China would have to work with those companies to include WAPI in the products. Foreign companies fear sharing their intellectual property with Chinese competitors and would prefer to use standard gear around the world to realize cost savings. This article points to Britain and the United States as nations that have set technical standards in a similar way but I'm hard pressed to come up with examples. Some U.S. cell carriers built networks based on CDMA, a standard created by Qualcomm, instead of the worldwide GSM standard but that choice was in no way dictated by the government and of course some other carriers here opted instead for GSM. European governments have dictated that operators there use GSM but GSM is a worldwide standard--there's no nation that insisted on a proprietary tweak to it within its borders. The story points to analysts who say that in requiring WAPI China is trying to take its turn as a standard-setter. But forcing companies to do something isn't the way standards are set. They're set by consensus among industry leaders and companies follow them by choice. In other news of pressure to the Chinese government over WAPI, Pat Gelsinger, the CTO of Intel, plans to meet with Chinese officials to talk about the requirement. Clearly the requirement would affect Intel which would have to alter its Centrio chips, for example, to accommodate for WAPI in order to sell products to the Chinese market....
