RFID's Future: The Real Issues

"Buy into RFID tags, or not? Is it best to wait and hope things settle down? But, if a company hesitates, will it fall behind as competitors race ahead? Or, if it jumps too early into the RFID waters, will it ultimately lose? What are the real issues in regard to RFID? Cost is not the real issue. The tag's technology is not the real issue. Wal-Mart is not the real issue. The DoD is not the real issue. Standards are not the real issue. The real issue is how to cope with all the data that will be generated by large-scale adoption of RFID technology." Source: Managing Automation
