"The company that manages the Internet's core directory — and has been criticized for trying to take undue advantage of its position — has been hired to perform a similar role in the developing system for radio-frequency identification tags on consumer products," reports AP.
"VeriSign was selected as the directory manager by EPCglobal, a venture formed to administer the radio-frequency tagging network that is expected to begin replacing bar codes as product identifiers over the rest of the decade."
