FTC Does Not Plan to Pursue RFID Regulation
Despite an outcry from privacy advocates, the Federal Trade Commission has announced that it has no plans to regulate RFID technology at this time.
According to RCR Wireless News:
" 'I think it’s really early for that,' said FTC Commissioner Mozelle Thompson at an RFID workshop yesterday sponsored by the agency.
"Representatives from retailers and high-tech firms said any privacy problems can be sorted out by the market and self regulation, while consumer advocates urged policy-makers to exercise appropriate oversight of RFID applications."
