Whoever gets a massive network of RFID sensors deployed first gets to own the commercially important knowledge about the real-world. This is another GOOG buyout bid, and it’s classic dot com reasoning. We offer products at a discount (free, even!) on the condition that the buyer (recipient) agree to let the product upload all the RFID data it can collect. The more wide-spread the network of sensors, the more RFIDs we can track. The sensor network nodes can go into just about anything that is network-connected or network-connectable — HDTVs, TiVos, cellphones, cars, toasters, computers, laptops, refrigerators, ad nauseam.

The owner of this database is googlestron. It’s the quintessence of knowledge-based market power. It’s a paradigm shift. It’s a long-tail. It’s made of people! And I’ve got the patent pending, so there.

P.S. How about that for a sweet way to both leverage and simultaneously finance the $100 laptop for every schoolchild in the world?
