RE: Rf Id tag protocol
Besides what Bill Manning said about reviewing what's been done in the auto-id center (now closed), there are a number of research projects/initiatives around the world (e.g., Japan's ubiquitous id center at uidcenter.org). For a list of some related resources, see: http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/newslog/stories/2003/06/06/ubiquitousNetworksReso urces.html There's plenty of debate about whether the public Internet is an appropriate platform, e.g., see http://tronweb.super-nova.co.jp/autoidvubiqid.html Bob -Original Message- From: escom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 November 2003 13:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Rf Id tag protocol The purpose of the protocol is to manage over the internet the information stored in a RF-ID tag.

For example, if it hadn't been for proactive regulatory intervention in local loop unbundling in Korea and Japan and many other regulatory measures, there wouldn't be such a dynamic broadband market in those countries nor would one see so much growth in VOIP services. You can thank the regulators and policy makers in those countries for stimulating growth and bringing lots of benefits to users... Bob

That'd be MPHPT at http://www.soumu.go.jp/ see http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/newslog/2003/09/03.html#a172, particularly the Japan talk (sorry Powerpoint) which explains how they're allocating telephone numbers to IP terminal devices and the policy considerations they're working on (e.g., quality, interconnection, emergency services, etc.) The uptake in VOIP in Japan has been driven by the success of cheap/fast broadband (see http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/newslog/2003/07/21.html#a72 for background explanation). In Japan, consumer broadband prices per Mbit/s are about 35 times cheaper than the US. For example, you can buy 100 Mbps of residential FTTH from USEN for about US$ 49.00 a month. Many countries have moved beyond the regulatory debates that characterize the US very-much sector-specific regulatory framework. There are a number of indications the landscape is changing rapidly in the US too (see http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/newslog/categories/voip/2003/08/22.html#a159) Bob -- Robert Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ITU Internet Strategy and Policy Advisor Strategy and Policy Unit <http://www.itu.int/spu/>
