From the Paper
"The 1990s were a significant decade for RFID since it saw the widespread deployment of electronic toll collection in the United States according to AIM (2001). From the lessons learned in transportation and the work completed by IBM engineers who developed and patented an ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID system according to RFID Journal (2002) which could be read up to 20 feet away., the foundation for reading tags in motion from a distance was of immediate interest to mass merchandisers including Wal-Mart. The pioneering work IBM had done in UHF RFID was sold off to Intermec when the computer conglomerate encountered financial difficulties in the mid 1990s. Intermec, an industry leader in bar coding and material handling applications, struggled to make the technology a market success. What were missing were data standards and the ability to create Master Data Management repositories that could be queried and used for analysis."

Abstract
This paper discuses Replay Radio's product life cycle, channel management, an advertising plan and price, promotional and public relations strategies. The author points out that, during the launch phase, XM's marketing team should follow a skimming price strategy because of their competitive advantage and limited product availability. The paper relates that the pricing strategy for Replay Radio should be sales-oriented objective, which seeks some level of unit sales, dollar sales or share of market goal without referring to profit. The author recommends an initial promotion schedule starting the first of August so that the company can catch the height of sports, shopping and new releases for television shows and the music tour calendar. The paper suggests a public relation campaign by promoting technological sharing with the other satellite radio system Sirius, to assist in growing the industry market.
From the Paper
"The second phase is growth, during this phase of the product's life cycle the product tends to become more profitable and competitors tend to become more attracted to the market. Companies tend to start forming alliances, and more money is put into the advertising the product. Replay radio should be in mass production at this point of the life cycle and be marketed to manufacturers worldwide. The third phase is maturity; products that tend to survive the early phases normally spend the longest in this particular phase. Sales tend to grow at a decreasing rate then stabilize and price wars begin with the competition and promotion of the product becomes more widespread."

From the Paper
"In contrast to the government efforts to bridge the digital divide and to take the advantages of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the masses, the colonial and fossilized Indian Broadcasting laws continues to hold sway over the broadcasting arena. On the one hand, Judiciary has endorsed that 'airways are public property', while on the other, in practical realm, lines between public and private broadcasting still remain conveniently blurred. No doubt, that private radio has made an entry into the Indian broadcast arena, but community radio remains to find legitimacy by the law of the land."

From the Paper
"Just as many TV viewers have come to consider cable TV a life necessity, so too is satellite radio becoming a mainstream replacement for traditional AM/FM listening. Similar to cable, this service has to be paid for, but just as with cable, you get a lot more channels and edgier, more innovative programming. An additional benefit is that there is no loss of your favorite station as you travel across the state or country. As an added plus, satellite players show the artist and name of the song, which is definitely an incentive for those who like to know what they're listening to."

Abstract
This paper examines how, during the years from 1930-1960, radio became an increasingly popular form of entertainment for Americans. It looks at how technological changes helped spark the spectacular growth of radio and how in the 1930s radio programs were hugely varied and included a wide number of entertainment programs, as well as a number of hugely popular news programs. It explores how governmental intervention in radio began in 1934 with the creation of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and how, in the years from 1930 to 1960, radio gradually shifted its focus from variety-style entertainment programs to music programming, largely as a result of the appearance of television. It also discusses how radio today focuses largely on the music industry rather than the variety programs that were popular during the years 1930-1940, but still remains a hugely popular part of American culture.

From the Paper
"In the 1940s, FM became popular, as the FCC authorized broadcasting on 42-50MHZ. During the war, manufacturing and technology boom in radio, although home users were limited by wartime shortages. In 1945, the FCC changed the FM band to 88 to 108 megacycles. In 1946, selenium rectifiers began to replace vacuum tube rectifiers. By 1947 the size of radios were reduced, as miniature rectifiers, tubes, transformers and printed circuit boards became popular. The transistor was invented in 1947, and first introduced to the public in 1948 (A Brief History of Radio). "

Abstract
This paper examines the current trend of people listening more frequently to conservative or "right wing" talk shows. It focuses on the shows of three hosts - John Carlson, Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh and discusses how they have successfully adapted their conservative radio programs to compete with new forms of media.
From the Paper
"Imagine a view from the early 1920?s; a family huddled together in front of their brand new radio. The children are excitedly waiting for the familiar sounds of ?The Lone Ranger.? Mom and Dad sit back, enjoying not only the family time together, but their moments of quiet relaxation. Eighty years ago this was the image most Americans conjure in their minds when they pictured the early day of radio. Today, radio has changed dramatically. The word radio no longer can describe the genera?s housed under it. We have music radio, with pop, rock, country and jazz. Separate from musical radio is talk radio, which encompassed home and garden tips, health information, and, often, conservative opinion talk radio programs."

The Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID).
This paper discusses Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID), an automated identification and data collection technology consisting of tags containing chips for storing data and an antenna for transmitting data through radio waves.

Abstract
This paper explains that RFID chips can be attached, often without notice, to all sorts of products, such as clothing and books, and can be use to monitor and control the supply chain in ways similar to the bar code, which the RFID is being developed to replace. The author points out that some examples of the consumer use of the RFID are in a library where the reader need only to walk in front of a shelf and can immediately see on a screen a list of all the books and their contents. For another example, parents in amusement parks can locate their children by putting a RFID on their children and then locating them on a special "kidspotter" map of the park. The paper stresses that, despite the clear advantages of RFID, there is a concern among privacy activists because RFID tags, so small that they can go undetected, can be embedded in any product or article of clothing and even under the skin of a person and then can be used to record information about their activities, tracking anyone with a tag on them.

From the Paper
"While in the 1980's RFID was primarily used for commercial applications, the 1990s saw RFID enter the consumer market. Toll systems throughout the US and Europe became widespread and started gaining major use. Toll systems were adopted by Kansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Maine, and New York, Massachusetts, and quite a few other states. Standardization became a big issue with all these systems, leading to the Title 21 standard and the EZ-Pass Interagency Group, both of which were formed in an effort to provide consistent toll standards in different regions of the US. Payment and access systems were developed, such as the speedpass payment system used by Mobile gas stations, various skipass systems and gated community access setups. Automobile related RFID systems also were implemented in larger scale including remote entry and ignitions systems."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of radio-diagnostic imagery instead of the more standard form of autopsy in forensic medicine. The paper examines the pros and cons of using images provided by machinery such as MRIs instead of the information provided by the more invasive autopsy procedure. The paper discusses the accuracy of radio-diagnostic imagery compared with its less technologically advanced counterpart in determining causes of death. The author concludes that while radio-diagnostic imaging can be useful in forensic medicine, it can not yet replace traditional autopsy.

From the Paper
"There has been an increase in the use of MRI in forensics in making a diagnosis when death involved either injury or disease. Stated to be one of the: "main criticisms of the use of MRI as an alternative to conventional autopsy is the lack of validation of this imaging technique." This is due to the mixed results that have been reported related to MRI post mortem examinations in the fields of neuropathology and paediatrics."

Abstract
The paper analyzes whether humor in radio advertising aids the listener in comprehension and recall. The author discusses past experimental studies that look at the effect of humor in advertising upon source credibility, comprehension, and audience preference, and compares them to the author's own method of experimentation.
From the Paper:
"The use of humor in radio advertising is not a new concept. Every year millions of dollars are spent in the development and execution of humorous advertising in the United States. It is a tool that advertisers and radio stations have been using for years to grab the attention of their listeners. They use humor to help them place a product image in the listeners mind, but does this technique really work? Advertisers use humor appeals in radio advertising in order to differentiate a product whose advertising faces a heavy amount of corporate noise. The use of humor, some advertisers feel, can help listener recall, and attitude toward the brand. Humor, however, is hard to conceptualize or put into operation."?

Abstract
The following paper discusses why radio journalism has been adversely affected somewhat by the advent of new technology in the field of communication. The writer also comments on the changing definition of what radio journalism encompasses. This paper endeavours to explore what these factors and trends are that have led to the degeneration of radio journalism, as well as what the future of radio journalism might entail.
From the Paper
?Prior to conducting this undertaking, a brief timeline of events needs to be given in order to understand the degeneration of radio journalism through the gradual descent in popularity of its chief vehicle. In 1873, Maxwell publishes the theory of radio waves, which leads to the broadcast of voice and music in the U.S. in 1906. This development is capitalized on when DeForest starts broadcasting radio music on a regular basis in 1907. In 1909, the first broadcast talk was held and the topic was on women?s right to vote. In 1912, the U.S. government passes a law to regulate radio stations (http://www.ibiblio.org/jpurnalism/jhistory/, 7). In the 1920s, radio starts to compete with print media, such as newspapers and magazines (Emery, Emery & Roberts, 1996, 5). In the 1930s, the golden age of radio begins. However, by 1948, the general population start demanding television (http://www.ibiblio.org/jpurnalism/jhistory/, 8-10), and the golden age of radio ends as it starts to compete with television, and then later other technological inventions in communication and entertainment, for a share in the consumer market.?

Abstract
This paper examines how, during wartime, radio was one of the most versatile and useful technologies around. Besides being used for relaying military information, it was used for propaganda and morale. It looks at how though radio was developed by in the United States, it was fully utilized overseas in Europe during the war and how, many countries, such as Germany and Britain, used the radio to help spread militaristic propaganda during wartime.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the war many people were unsure of how vital a role radio would play in the war. Prime Minister of Britain at the beginning of the war, Richard Chamberlain, declared that people would not have time to listen to radio during the war (Hickman, pg. 18). This ideology quickly evaporated when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Britain. Churchill utilized the radio to communicate with the public through his "wartime speeches". His first speech as a Minister was given on May 19, 1940. Unlike Chamberlain, Churchill understood the importance of radio and he knew exactly how to get response from the audience (Radio during WWII, pg. 1)."

Radio and American Culture, 2007.
This paper explores the radio's impact upon American popular culture from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Abstract
The paper shows how radio advertising created a demand for certain modes of dress, entertainment and music at the same time as it worked to produce a society more pliant to powerful interest groups. The paper discusses how the radio also served to perpetuate stereotypes that marginalized some groups while elevating others. The paper concludes that American popular culture - even to this very day - owes at least part of its nature to the old-fashioned radio.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant things that radio did for American popular culture was to make the siren call of that culture more pervasive than ever before. That is to say, before the advent of the radio, people could really only be exposed to the newest fad, fashion or technological product by venturing outdoors, by permitting a door-to-door salesman into the house or by purchasing a subscription to the local newspaper. However, because radio did not require anyone to leave the home in order to be inundated with advertising promos, did not require that someone admit a stranger into their residence or did not even require that someone be able to read the printed word, radio became an extraordinarily effective means of "commodifying" popular culture even more than it already was."
