This is the final deliverable for the STOA project RFID & Identity Management, which was carried out by the Dutch Rathenau Institute as part of the European Technology Assessment Group (ETAG), the STOA framework contractor’s network of scientific institutes. The purpose of this deliverable is to provide insight into real life experiences with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), draw a future scenario, and formulate challenges for this rapidly emerging technology. In this study we do not focus on data protection and its legislation or enforcement, but rather on how people think RFID data should be managed in daily life. The empirical base of this project consists of 24 case studies on a variety of RFID systems.

To establish Internet communications for the Sámi population of Reindeer Herders, who live in remote areas, and relocate their base in accordance with a yearly cycle dictated by the natural behavior of reindeer. This population currently does not have reliable wired, wireless or satellite communication capabilities in major areas within which they work and live (or would prefer to stay if possible). A radical solution is therefore required.

Social Environment

A factor of concern is the aboriginal amalgamation of nomadic life and preservation of nature represented by the area's reindeer herders in the Laponia region. Another component is taking into account the impact of enabling families to better keep together during the nomadic year cycle via arrangements such as distance learning (contemporary re-establishment of nomadism, i.e."post-modern nomadism").
