Administration and the Technology
Administration held a workshop in
April 2004 titled From RFID to Smart
Dust: The Expanding Market for
Wireless Sensor Technologies, looking
at the market, the uses, and the policy
issues related to Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technologies.
(https://www.ntia.doc.gov/forums/
sensors/). RFID in 2005:
Technology and Industry Perspectives
follows the 2004 workshop and aims to
engage stakeholders and industry in
discussions about the potential of the
technology and its policy implications.
The primary objective of the
workshop is to educate stakeholders and
policymakers about the benefits of RFID
technology, technology development
efforts, current and future applications,
and privacy and security considerations,
as well as to understand industry’s
experiences in implementing RFID
technologies. In this half-day workshop,
industry panelists will give brief
presentations on their development,
use, or management of RFID technology.
The final panel will address the
challenge of responsible data policies to
sustain RFID technology and develop
consumer confidence and acceptance of
RFID.
RFID technology applications have
the immense potential to enhance
commerce, personal and business
security, and government and business
processes. Market estimates for RFID
applications range from about $1 billion
in 2004 to almost $5 billion by 2008,
with about 30% of all capital goods
carrying RFID tags by 2008. This has
important implications for businesses
and consumers. Introduction of RFID
technology into the marketplace
requires an explanation of the benefits
of the technology and discussions about
actual and perceived challenges.
In the case of RFID: technical
standards, spectrum, international
operability, implementation costs, data
privacy and security considerations are
part of the current discourse on RFID.
The Department of Commerce wants to
use this workshop opportunity to ensure
that RFID industry concerns and views
are heard and that accurate information
about the features and abilities of RFID
are disseminated.
Dated: March 14, 2005.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology.
