More Analysis of Alien RFID IPO

The IPO of RFID kit maker Alien Technologies, announced last week, will be a mixed blessing for the industry, Gartner has predicted.

That is acccording to this piece out of the UK. My take: as usual the industry analysts may be thinking a little too hard.

But I think they got this piece right:

Gartner also reports that even if the IPO falls flat, it may still prove a boon to the RFID market by encouraging other track-and-trace companies to go public, as well as stirring interest in the financial community.
