More Quotes from Allen Nogee:
Base station component makers are being asked to make cheaper components that last as long or longer than previous versions, and to develop them when the unit volumes required aren't fully known, because demand for base stations isn't known. Base stations continue to grow more dense, with more channels per card and smaller overall form-factors, while consuming less total power and requiring less air conditioning, or no air conditioning in many cases.Allen Nogee

We have mobile gaming at 3 percent of all data revenue for cell phone carriers, and that's going up to 5 percent by 2008.

By far the biggest RFID segment in coming years will be Supply Chain Management. This segment will account for the largest number of tagslabels from 2005 through 2010. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has spurred this projected growth by mandating that its top 100 (and, later its top 300) suppliers begin to use RFID.
