WSJ: After Being Overhyped, RFID Starts to Deliver
On Wednesday, November 7th, 2007, the Wall Street Journal published an article about recent developments in the RFID industry. The article discusses the substantial amount of venture capital that RFID companies have attracted and the increasingly growing returns that these investments are providing. According to quoted sources, RFID began with a few applications but now is used in a "wide range of applications on campuses, airports, prisons, semiconductor companies and jet-engine manufacturers." VentureOne, a Dow Jones research company, reports that from 2002 to 2005, $658 million USD were invested into 70 RFID-related projects by venture capital firms.
