Today I attended EPCglobal's RFID Int'l Forum in Taipei. It's also the official announcment for EPCglobal to establish its presence in Taiwan. Visit www.epcglobal.org.tw for more detail.
This seminar focused more on RFID tag and reader, and that's the part which most of the Taiwanese companies / suppliers are good at. I am more curious about how EPCglobal perform Object Name Service, or ONS, in Taiwan...unfortunately not much about it this time.
Here's what I am thinking so far--
1. ONS will be run on Verisign's existing network, meaning they own the root depository(.onsroot.org domain name is used for all ID flowing on the Internet). NOT AGAIN!!
2. Most of valuable trading/commerce info-flow will be controlled by a US company, Verisign. I think that's why China, Japan and Korea are considering of a possible new standard for RFID.
3. What's TWNIC's role in it? Should we make more effort on the policy and management of the ONS on a country level? What other NICs are thinking and doing (I know KRNIC has done a lot...)?
BTW No RFID badge given in the seminar or anything special w/ the technology, nah....:-P
