Setting the stage for controversial tracking technology, the satellite telecommunications company ORBCOMM has signed an agreement with VeriChip Corp., maker of the world's first implantable radio frequency identification microchip.

VeriChip, a subsidiary of Applied Digital, will work with ORBCOMM to develop and market new military, security and healthcare applications in the U.S. and around the world, the company said.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Applied Digital has created and successfully field-tested a prototype of an implant for humans with GPS, or global positioning satellite, technology.

1. sweet...so they can just implant a chip at birth..and then
it'll be like the government is right there with you all the time...you'll never be alone again! It'd be really sweet if they could get microphones somehow set up too. Then you could talk to them...and they could listen to you...and it'd be cool.:thumbsdown:
