	AIM INC
		The EPCglobal policy of requiring royalty-free IP from its participating members is laudable, from one perspective, but incomplete from all others.
		EPCglobal itself holds a number of IPs, most of which have neither been filed nor declared royalty free.
		IP holders that have agreed to royalty-free use of their IP under the EPCglobal umbrella are not required to honor those agreements outside of EPCglobal.

	EPCglobal's Royalty-Free Protocol Claim Is Ambiguous
		EPCglobal's "royalty-free" claim means only that users do not have to pay EPCglobal to use the specification, but this does not speak to real-world use.
		EPCglobal is delaying submission of the Generation 2 protocol to ISO because of the Application Family Identifier (AFI) issue.
		EPCglobal has failed to heed its own members' advice about adhering to AFI (the protocols that describe how different RFID systems coexist across frequencies, geographies and industries) before submitting the protocol to ISO.
