Or will this PWC via mobile evolve over time and be ever changing. I am just wandering how this is all to play out. Will it be Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or some other company that will be the 800 lb gorilla in this space? Is this a case of first to market, best marketing, largest player or a combination therein?<BR/>I guess time will tell... <BR/>One thing I can be sure of is this, all the major players and everyone else is now desperately jockeying for a piece of this pie.<BR/>I will watch intently as this all unfolds.<BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1148308811514282762006-05-22T10:40:00.000-04:002006-05-22T10:40:00.000-04:00Ken,It's too early to tell what the most widely ac...Ken,<BR/><BR/>It's too early to tell what the most widely accepted will be.<BR/><BR/> Some companies are already litigating on specific methods, that haven't been implemented yet.<BR/><BR/>There are various ways to get to a URL from a physical object.No Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155078371910036369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1148159763738877242006-05-20T17:16:00.000-04:002006-05-20T17:16:00.000-04:00NeoMedia owns the IP and Patent for the technology...NeoMedia owns the IP and Patent for the technology in the US and also has applicable patents in Canada & Mexico.<BR/><BR/>However, on an international level, the market is wide open and rapidly adopting the technology behind physical world connections.<BR/><BR/>http://paperclick.com/patents.jspstreetstylzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584171461411063275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1148152092434228102006-05-20T15:08:00.000-04:002006-05-20T15:08:00.000-04:00Scott, what company it any, owns the I.P.R. to mak...Scott, what company it any, owns the I.P.R. to make this PWC thing happen. Is this technology (scanning of bar codes and reading RFID's) only open to Thomsons? Or are all companies able to freely use these methods without any license?<BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
