Computerworld.com: Though Wal-Mart Stores Inc. expects the number of its stores using RFID to reach 1,000 in April, the retailer has come under fire from some analysts and users for failing to meet its plan for installing the technology in its distribution centers. A spokesman last week acknowledged that the company missed its goal of installing RFID technology in 12 of its 137 distribution centers by the end of 2006. The company is instead concentrating on RFID-enabling its retail stores, he said.
