From the Editor's Desk
Suddenly summer is over and autumn is upon us in the Northern
hemisphere. That means that business is back in full swing – or does
it? Here in the USA, many of my colleagues say that business is
slow. Companies that seem to have the money to move on new projects
are not spending it. Is this the economy – or is it the election on
the horizon? Well, by the time you read next month’s issue, we will
have chosen the next President of the USA. Hopefully, whoever wins
can inspire some movement in the market and we can get out there and
help these companies to implement systems that will save money and
improve productivity.

related subjects. If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com.
