Review of RFID in 2007

Follow governments

Those seeking to prosper in RFID should, on the evidence of 2007, follow the applications where governments either make it a legal requirement as with some national ID cards and livestock schemes or where government foots the bill. For example, Military and much Healthcare expenditure on RFID is really government money and even the strongly progressing tagging of air baggage is usually backed by huge government grants to airports and airlines, the airports in North America and East Asia being frequently owned by government anyway. In number of projects, airlines and airports held their 3.6% share of all projects through 2007.
