Best Buy Initiative Will Include Item-Level RFID

"One of the earliest participants in Best Buy's RFID initiative, iRiver America, is currently doing pre-pilot testing of OATSystems Inc.'s RFID framework, with plans to launch a full-fledged pilot two weeks from now, and to move from there to item-level tagging of its $200-and-up portable music devices in February. The consumer electronics product manufacturer and distributor also expects to join in on Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s RFID initiative, although probably not until 2006, according to Deepak Govil, senior manager of sales operations for iRiver."
