The Business of RFID

Microsoft announced the creation of a RFID group to work on technology that is supported by the Microsoft platform. The group will include major clients of Mircrosoft who are engaged in supplying RFID products and services. With major efforts underway by the DOD and national retail chains like Wal Mart to incorporate the technology into their supply chain, companies that want to be major suppliers of the technology are working to position themselves now to better compete for RFID customers and market share.
