Interesting, especially when you read this: http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/1098/1/1/

"5-Cent Tag Unlikely in 4 Years
Average price of a passive UHF RFID tags will drop to only 16 cents by 2008, according to ARC Advisory Group, dampening wide adoption of item-level tagging."

Guess they didn't think of the accelerating change.

Do you have a link to some source of information on the 9 cents?
