Article: Microsoft, IBM, Philips to back RFID tracking technology

IDG.com.sg - Microsoft, IBM, Philips to back RFID tracking technology:

"'2004 is going to be a real crazy year for RFID,' said Evelien Vredeveld, IBM's worldwide RFID leader. 'Last year there was a lot of concern about privacy issues with RFID but this year, I think consumers will begin to learn the many benefits of the technology.' For example, if a product with the RFID tag breaks and needs to be returned to the store, the consumer won't need a receipt as all of that information will be part of the tag's data. "
