Show Me The RFID Money, Says The Marketplace

It seems some of the infinitely-thinking big-name consulting groups have been looking at the burgeoning RFID market and drawing some standard economic conclusions about the "V" curve of the RFID marketplace, competitive analysis of the major players, and some RFID players are making money (they think) while others have seen nothing of the sort.

This article mentions that of the 1,000 or so RFID suppliers right now, many are not producing products that add superior value to the customer's request, but are looking for short-term profit success in this important but slow-moving and growing marketplace. Sounds like the way Wall Street operates, eh? The gist of all this is that this article posits upcoming mergers between RFID suppliers to better ensure the marketplace receives quality and value-added product so that the marketplace grows steadily. We all need these tags on our boxes of Post Toasties real soon, you know.
