May 2008: As we see it....
Rumor has it that VeriChip is going to sell the Company.

If they do, it will most likely be to the government --or else receive government subsidies to continue-- since Homeland Security could easily replace "REAL ID " with this system.
"REAL ID" was supposed to be in place by May 2008 , and instead we see this obvious substitute poised for takeover. Let's all watch as Verichip pretends to become obsolete, while remaining the best surveillance tool in all of history. Totally Orwellian.
Rumors are just that ... rumors. --- Apocalyptic Hope

6. Digital Angel International, Inc. + IBM ..... "Peace of Mind" wirelessly linked heart monitor
01.08.03: IBM's newest health-related technology wirelessly links heart monitors to mobile wireless devices such as cellular phones. The premise behind the device, called Peace of Mind, is to inform physicians or relatives if the heart-monitor wearer experiences cardiac distress. A person using Peace of Mind would have
a heart-rate measuring patch on his/her chest that would activate if the person's heart rate rose above a predetermined rate.
Using Bluetooth, a relay device that works with Peace of Mind, an alert would be sent to a designated cell phone or personal digital assistant loaded with special IBM software, to initiate an alert or rescue. IBM's technology has not yet been released in any devices on the market.
Digital Angel International, a wireless safety and locations systems company, has developed similar technology.
Its wristwatch-size health monitoring device uses a satellite chip to pinpoint the location of the person in distress, and contacts help with the location. Original IBM press release.

Dr. Richard Geissler of Destron Fearing
Clearly, Destron Fearing is a highly successful and respected company in the animal monitoring arena," [ Richard ] Sullivan said. "The fact that it's a leader in electronic monitoring technologies fits right in with our focus on e-business-to-business solutions. We're particularly excited about the potential for incorporating Destron Fearing and Digital Angel.net's data and technologies into the ASP (Application Service Provider) strategy we announced recently." - http://www.digitalangel.net/press/pr_2000/pr_03_06_00.htm
Editor: " Why would you put the CEO of an implant animal tracking company in charge of an e-commerce division?"

"There is nowhere on Digital Angel's site where it says it will not introduce similar implants for people. If it will never introduce them, let that be declared to the market. But it appears Destron Fearing was bought specifically for these patents."

Towers
And as wireless-service providers roll out a new technology called WiMax, allowing for broadband access from within a 30-mile radius of its antenna, they will likely attach the new antennas required for that technology to existing wireless towers, which they will lease. After all, building wireless towers can be costly, to the tune of $200,000 per site, and gaining municipal permits for construction can turn into a multiyear headache. As a result, it's much easier to rent tower space from existing companies.

Murray and Clinton still voted against Crawford as did senators who endorse easier importation of inexpensive Canadian prescription drugs, such as US Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota.
