Cool.Industy experts say about five years. The primary challenge is getting the costs of the tags down. Currently in volume they are about $.20 - the magic number is said to be around a nickel and imbedded where the consumer is unaware that the tag exists. Some unexpected challenges were found. Bottled water, for example, apparently restricts the reception. Go figure. They didn't theorize that issue.
And do you know they will be able to drive by your house and find out that you still haven't eaten that box of Cheerios you bought three years ago...or at least you still have the box. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!
That is exactly what I was referring to. Stolen goods will be able to call out their presence.
