The Booming RFID Business in 2010

Passive RFID success
Passive RFID also makes the financiers pleased. It is usually in the form of labels and cards these days. For example, contactless (ie RFID smart cards) are commonly used for storing notional value that is then spent down by the user. The London Oyster card is the largest such project in the West, though it a fraction of the size of the Suica scheme in Japan or various Chinese city cards, each of which is two to four times as big.
