NeoMedia Technologies, Inc (NEOM)

That sounds nice, awfully nice ...

... although there is an awful lot of supposition included.

All of the 'will' words are purely opinion, and with NEOM being a YAGI client in penny-sub-penny-stock-land they may never ... ever ... get anywhere at all.

Allow me to paraphrase, what is in bold makes this a bit more realistic.

NeoMedia, with their patent position and licensing agent agreement with Neustar, has positioned itself where it might be able to be a mobile barcode infrastructure provider.

NeoMedia, in conjunction with Neustar and the mobile carriers in the US and in Europe might be in the process of creating a billing and transaction infrastructure built on top of NeoMedia's patent portfolio. We haven't seen much in the way of actual proof this is going on.

NeoMedia if successful might collect a transaction fee for every 1D UPC & 2D barcode that is registered through Neustar and then scanned and validated by ANY consumer's mobile device, using ANY kind of mobile code reading application, on ANY carrier's network ... WORLDWIDE.

Those companies who wish to participate in the mobile code ecosystem may or may not need to license and register their codes through Neustar, it remains to be seen if anyone will need to or will even if they don't need to. If they do not, they might be left out and will not receive a slice of the guaranteed revenue share unless they work around NEOM's patents to accomplish their needs in the realm of mobile advertising.

<snip>

From what I hear from industry heads, registered codes will be labeled "certified interoperable" letting consumers know that the barcode is authentic and safe to scan.

Labels on labels eh? That's a hoot.

Best,
