December 20, 2004—New research from BIGresearch of New York City and Artafact of Oakland, California, indicates an increase in the public's knowledge about RFID and persistent concerns over privacy. 35.5% of the 8,500 participants surveyed were aware of radio frequency identification technology.

Privacy concerns are as strong as ever, with a full 69% of those surveyed wary of companies using RFID to track consumer shopping habits. 69% was also what Cap Gemini reported all the way back in January as the percentage of people concerned with RFID facilitating the use of personal data by third-party companies. It seems the industry still has a ways to go in assuaging public doubt regarding its responsible use of RFID technology. Read the article at eMarketer
