	TRON Man shuns Gates-like Fortune
		Sakamura's selflessness and the bullying trade tactics of the United States stand in stark contrast...
		Sakamura's system, TRON, is used to run items ranging from digital cameras to car engines, just as Windows operates personal computers.
		Had Sakamura decided to charge even one cent to each user of TRON, he would easily be a dollar billionaire by now, possibly even rivalling Gates, reputed to be the world's richest man with a fortune estimated at $43 billion by Forbes magazine...

		What sets the two systems apart —and the fortunes of Sakamura and Gates —is that while Windows must be bought from Microsoft, TRON is distributed free of charge.
		Sakamura estimates that it is used in some three to four billion such appliances around the world, far outnumbering Windows, which controls an estimated 150 million computers.
		Sakamura said he was puzzled by the initial US move and disappointed at the ensuing reaction of Japanese firms, but it allowed him to concentrate on the original aim of developing TRON for use on microprocessors rather than on computers.

		Sakamura could have been (according to the article) as rich as Bill Gates, but is content living an ordinary life.
		Rather, it embraces in its epistemology the ascetic monk, the pain-seeking masochist, selfless individuals such as Mother Theresa, and even people like Ken Sakamura who are content with an ‘ordinary’ life rather than the riches of Bill Gates.
		Sakamura values not “charging people for using something which is like a social infrastructure” more than he does becoming rich.

		The center has been active promoting uID: it conducted pilot tests of the uID technology with retailers like Keikyu Stores, showed off a cell phone with embedded RFID and barcode readers, demoed a navigation support system for visually handicapped persons, and established relationships with Korean and Chinese partners.
		What I believe is that the center is broadly focused on various RFID applications and does not have particularly strong interest in supply-chain management -- they seem to be interested in complementing rather than competing with the Auto-ID center.
