You knew it was bound to happen, didn’t you? Today, CTIA announced the new Camera-Phone Based Barcode Scanning White Paper, using input from the nation’s leading carriers. The white paper is meant to help define, develop and promote an open system for camera-phone 2D barcode scanning in the US market. It will also help companies with the necessary information on technologies that will be supported in the code scanning development and implementation process.
