CNet News relates in Australia Post tracks mail delivery using RFID how more than 12,000 radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are being used in letters every month to track the delivery of mail by Australia Post:
'The government business enterprise has replaced manual monitoring of mail delivery with RFID tags. In its annual report released Wednesday, Australia Post said RFID monitoring of mail came into effect in July after being run in parallel with manual monitoring for six months.
"We installed radio frequency identification technology that will enhance our ability to monitor our service performance and provide a better analysis of potential problems within our delivery network," the report said. Under the system, monitoring company Research International inserts RFID tags into "test letters" that can be tracked throughout the course of their journey.'
Question is - will it improve the service? Personally, I think all politicians should carry RFID tags...
