RFID Standard Sort Of Sidesteps Patents;

RFID Standard Sort Of Sidesteps Patents;
Intermec Begs To Differ 12/19/2004 03:47 PM
Earlier this year we wrote about how Intermec was making a lot of trouble in the RFID standards process, by suddenly claiming they had patented technologies that were going into the standard, and they wanted everyone to pay them. Well, the new standard has been ratified and it was done in a way that avoids the patent issue and makes it royalty free. Basically, they claim that the standard doesn't actually infringe on any Intermec patents, but Intermec sees the story slightly differently. They use a bit of doubletalk, but to paraphrase what they basically say, it's something along the lines of: "fine, the standard may not use our patented technology, but implementing the standard will require our patented technology, so get ready to pay up anyway." There might be the sort of typical evil genius laughter that comes after that as well, but it was kept out of the press release for now. Either way, it looks like simply declaring that the standard is royalty free, isn't actually going to make it so, and there are probably still going to be some patent battles to fight before this gets settled in any meaningful way. Of course, all this means is slower adoption of RFID technology, which is shame.

When does it become a standard?

When does it become a standard? 04/08/2005 12:05 PM

Turn to page 3 of this interview with Tim Bray, one of the eleven designers of XML. Asked why there is no version 27.5 of XML, he gives a common sense answer, that XML is frozen, and isn't going to change. Of course, it couldn't be any other way.

He says: "XML was frozen and published in February 1998. As it came toward the end and it became obvious -- well, not obvious, but likely anyhow -- that this was going to get a lot of momentum, we were besieged by requests for extra features of one kind or another. We basically lied and told the world, we would do all that stuff in version 2. You have to shoot the engineers and ship at some point, right? I think there will never be an XML version 2. There is an XML version 1.1, but it's controversial and not widely supported."

Sounds like what I've been saying about RSS (without the lying part).

If XML weren't frozen, it wouldn't have been possible to build XML-RPC, RSS, SOAP or OPML on top of it.

You could still add features to XML if there was a strong enough will in the community to do so. But there doesn't seem to be any movement in that direction, and that's okay, because while XML is not perfect, it certainly is good enough.

Emphatically, that XML is frozen is a good thing. If it were a moving target nothing would get done. And the same is true of RSS.

Today, there's no question that RSS is frozen, done, settled. Yes there are still a small number of people who would like to argue about it, but the deployment speaks so much more strongly. Every time you see so-and-so "supports RSS" on this page, that's an affirmation of the power of a frozen format, and if that goes on long enough, one can justifiably start calling it a standard. With RSS that day is coming soon.

Ready Or Not, Here Comes RFID

Ready Or Not, Here Comes RFID 09/03/2004 03:05 AM
Privacy advocates worry about the impact RFID could have on consumers while labor unions fear the technology could cost jobs. Both groups had better brace themselves, because RFID is moving into the mainstream and it's probably too late to stop it. Metro Group, a major retailer in Europe, has just completed a test of the technology and plans to rapidly introduce it to help them squeeze costs out of their supply chain. In their tests, use of the tiny tags increased efficiency, decreased theft and allowed the store to more easily get their hands on merchandise, offering more choice to customers. The tests were not a total success as liquids and some metals continue to hamper detection of the tags, mainly when they were used on individual items as opposed to crates and pallets. High costs and technology shortcomings will probably keep the tags off individual items for quite some time, but not forever. The test results show that RFID can help deliver lower prices and more choice for consumers. So rather than oppose the technology under the vague notion that it is going to harm consumers and workers, it's time for those who are opposed to it to work together with those who are adopting the chips to ensure that legitimate privacy concerns are addressed. The potential risks of RFID can be solved with technology. Better ability for individuals to read and adjust their own RFIDs once out of the store is one solution, for example, but not enough work has been done in that area so far.

Radio frequency identification tags are coming, but are they friend, foe, or just too expensive?: WalMart's mandate of RFID tags on products entering their maelstrom will push the adoption of the technology, but some of the futurists' visions of milk carton's reporting in to their home base when they're empty seem like a combination of The Jetsons and 1984. RFID tags are also way too expensive for this vision of the future -- whether AT&T "You Will" utopic or Brave New World dystopic. The cost has to come way down to make them useful for individual products and shelves. Right now, the palette level is the right price point.
