This quote is not what I want to hear - "In the future, security problems might be solved by biometric solutions like iris scanning, digital fingerprints, voice prints, face prints and retinal patterns -- which could be quicker and easier for consumers to use. All are technically possible. But don't count on seeing them anytime soon because of their high cost. ``The market buzz is not equal to the reality,' said RSA's Brink." dailynews.yahoo.com It contradicts what Jeff Davis of Motorola said, "We think that [the Identicator fingerprint technology] has just an incredible opportunity for us. The market, while small today, is projected to quadruple within the next year or so." So, who's right? Rick

>>DCBEN, I can't answer your questions about KMPG, but I really liked that KMPG mentioned Identicator. Was KMPG one of our famous "100 pilots" that we hope will bear fruit? How many more KMPGs do we have waiting on the sidelines?<< Rick, The whole point is that KPMG (one of the world's largest auditing/managment advisory firms) is not a pilot themselves. They go in and tell companies how to organize, manage and control their operations (for a big fee). They have to have supervised the installation of systems using IDX at several companies to perfect the techniques and applications they promote. (Those were no doubt part of the 100 pilots) And KPMG will undoubtedly be paid handsomely to tell more companies to use IDX in the future. Remember Randy's comment that first deployment will be corporate, then homes, etc. Could be he was refering to KPMG initiatives. Ben
