You have nicely summarized an important part of the SCOG strategy. Darl's (et al.) big mouth has been way off-base compared to SCOG's claims in court. All of this has pretty successfully suckered the media, esp. the Didiots and Pretenderles, and has pumped the stock as required. I had hoped the Utah judge would slap Darl hard enough to shut him up, but no such luck. Now, if the judge in Deleware would get off the pot...
Remember the Viking sailing ships? Remember Columbus' sailing ships? Remember the Conestoga wagons? Remember the first steps off this planet?
and onto another world?
It is a simple matter to extend the range of an RFID reader; you simple use a better antenna. Better means bigger. If the power returned from the RFID tag is limited, range can be extended by increasing the gain (focusing effect) of the receiving antenna in the scanner. Increasing the gain by 10 (easy), increases the range by sqrt(10). Increasing the gain by 10,000 (hard, but doable) gets us into the 100m range. This also allows the surveillance people to know exactly where they are pointing. This stuff has huge potential for abuse!

An interesting example, but I think most such inovations should be inventions, not patents. You have built a better machine; patent it.

The guy that did the port says he didn't use SCOG libraries.
That was one way to get continuous coverage in LEO.
Maybe 802.16 will solve Taco's BW problem.

It tells who we are, like it, or not.
