Hello,
yes i think both tracks can be followed. It is true, as Philippe says
that the internet as tcp/ip is a fluke, it would never have been around
had corporate interests been involved. We would have had a Philips web
in parts of Europe, a Sony web in Japan...This is exactly what GS1 and
EPC find, up against making the protocol for the Internet of Things,
that that is not easy when everyone involved knows what is at stake.
China, for example is rolling out its own RFID infrastructure., talking
huge numbers of tags:
http://www.idtechex.com/products/en/view.asp?productcategoryid=138
in the meanwhile.
One of the things I have been doing in past years is setting up a space
in which both GS1 Holland, EPC Global and RFID pushers are in with the
teachers from the students of Nijmegen who hacked/cloned the Ov card,
designers, and government sponsored bodies who care about privacy. It
may lead to opening up the infrastructure alongside the principles of
Melanie Riebacks RFID Guardian (also in that DIFR network),
http://www.rfidguardian.org/index.php/Main_Page
it may not. Probably what I may have done during those years is making
industry a lot wiser. These are the discussions I had with Katherine
Albrecht (spychips.com) who was very angry that we went talking and
creating comfort zones with industry - instead of rallying in the
streets as if we could stop it. However, I see that ship coming in and
there is no stopping it. I hope through initiatives like this to buy
some time, divert and create open spaces to discuss an open source rfid
infrastructure that starts from agency from citizens ( in their terms:
consumers).
But I agree with Pajé, we should also look past these protocols of
vested interests whichever way they turn out. That means taking our own
scenarios seriously. My 'end of the Netherlands' story, predicting
breakdown in European states because the middle class will pull the
plug, demanding better service for its 40% taxes to an empty state that
is dressed in Emperors clothes (money and law from EU, sold all
services) is getting lots of attention from Dutch policy makers. They
get itchy. There is just something funny in the air. Votes swing in
months, people are fed up with politicians. So why not bet on that
breakdown and take that as a framework for projects in the coming five
years? That would mean betting to opening up scenarios in other parts of
the world where bricos are. Globally this would mean to describe the
generic infrastructures we would need to live everyday lives and then
simply...make them :)
Greetings, Rob
