Biometrics Burgeoning To Mixed Reviews

Biometrics Burgeoning To Mixed Reviews 08/12/2004 10:19 PM
Everything from fingerprint to facial patterns to iris scanners are becoming more and more prevelent in society all over the world. Once primarily used in large corporate and military settings, biometrics are showing up in such places as airport terminals, hotels and even Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in the U.S.

Reactions to replacing locker keys with fingerprint scans were mixed at the Statue of Liberty lockers. "I think it's overly complicated. It takes too much time," said Stephen Chemsak, 26, who lives in Japan. Brad Hill, whose family business has run the concessions for the island for 73 years, stated, "Biometrics seemed the most logical choice." After all, he added with a laugh, people "don't lose their finger." In applications like the biometric lockers, the print itself is not stored or sent to authorities.

Biometrics are currently being tested in four Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in South Carolina. They're "pay-by-fingerprint" system claims to offers speed, convenience and protection against credit card theft. Such systems install in fast food restaurants weren't met with much enthusiasm, but Dean Douglas, vice president at IBM Corp., which is handling the technology for Piggly Wiggly's finger-scanning system, claims that could all change now that credit card fraud and identity theft have emerged as bigger problems.

"Within the next five to 10 years," Douglas predicted, "we're going to see biometrics play an increasingly large part of consumer transactions.

Economist Tackles WiMax

Economist Tackles WiMax 02/01/2005 09:13 PM
And I mean tackles! Pins it to the mat: This article lays out the land in a way that I appreciate: WiMax is an incremental enabling technology not a radical shift in view. No WiMax equipment has been sold yet. None will be sold for at least six months. When it does--and pre-WiMax turns into true WiMax--customer premises equipment will still be pretty steep compared to commodity devices available today. I had a long talk with SkyPilot the other day, which uses 802.11a-like technology to offer fairly good broadband speeds across long distances. Their tech is totally commoditized. Their CPE cost is $349--for a single unit. It goes down quite a lot (they wouldn't say how much) in quantity. They're about to announce some big customers for their production gear. WiMax isn't about whether broadband wireless is a viable service to offer. It certainly is. There's no question about that. It's whether a particular instanciation of that technology has any bearing on the deployment unless is has particular advantages that make something possible that wasn't. (That's part of the issue with early MIMO gear for the home, too.) As I read this Economist article, the real issue isn't whether a company like Qwest would choose SkyPilot's 802.11 over Alvarion's pre- or post-certified WiMax. Rather it's whether "plenty good enough today for real deployment" trumps "much better but much more expensive in the future until we deploy a lot of it." WiMax has a huge array of benefits for carriers that want to roll out WiMax in the same way they deployed DSL: few truckrolls (because of good non line of sight protocols) and lots of ratcheting in bandwidth offered to provide discrete services that mimic DSL and cable modems. These benefits are more appealing to carriers that are trying to integrate broadband wireless into an existing portfolio. These carriers are also in a better position to bundle applications on top of WiMax thus making it more reasonable for them to eat or subsidize a $500 CPE cost than even a large regional ISP or municipality. WiMax might be the flavor that telcos and related firms opt for because of consistency, standardization, and technical features. But it doesn't mean that potentially billions of dollars of other gear might not be sold in the meantime that has a very similar function and utility for the non-operator market.
