Forget Microsoft . . . get worried about Verisign

As though it weren't bad enough that Verisign controls Internet root DNS, now, as this article in the Washington Post (VeriSign to Manage Tags for Consumer Items) presents, they have now been selected to administer the directory for the forthcoming commercial RFID network. This network will likely become the replacement for bar-codes (AND SO MUCH MORE . . . as Phil Ronco might say).

Can you spell: "T-O-O M-U-C-H I-N-F-R-M-A-T-I-O-N I-N O-N-E P-L-A-C-E"
