The Future of Wireless
ISPs, Businesses and Even Cities Seek to Offer
Cheap or Free Connections -- Which Will Win?
WSJ, April 30, 2007
Not so long ago, Wi-Fi was a home project for tech geeks with a high tolerance for fiddling with router settings and WEP encryption. Today, wireless Internet access is regarded as practically a digerati birthright. Finding yourself in an airport or hotel without free wireless access is as odd and unwelcome as finding out your rental car doesn't have a CD player. (Wait a year or two, and you'll be able to substitute "satellite radio" or "iPod jack" for "CD player.")

2) TR3 Helps Ocean Spray
TR3's RFID is helping beverage maker Ocean Spray better understand the root causes of service and sales slumps.
The company released its new "Zero Sales Prevention" module at the RFID Journal Live conference in Orlando this week.
"The new Zero Sales Prevention module will save us a tremendous amount of time and make our sales team more effective," said Doug Heffron, Head of the Wal-Mart Sales team for Ocean Spray.
3) 16 Barriers to RFID Ubiquity
RFID is arguably a very efficient technology, made for multiple purposes, useful for private and public sectors. The benefits of RFID are far too numerous to mention in a single article, as the potential applications are seemingly endless. Many in the industry and elsewhere feel that the technology will become ubiquitous and replace older technologies because of its efficiencies and extra functionality. The problem is, it is also a very controversial technology for many reasons, which are thus a barrier to widespread adoption of RFID.
