AbsoluteSKY, Inc. (ABSY.OB) – The Reality of RFID

When you listen to CNBC talk about RFID, they talk about the incredible applications the technology can have and rightfully so. But, they often mention the mandatory requirements that Wal-Mart and other big box stores will demand from suppliers. This is such an incredible exaggeration it’s laughable.
