It offers no prompts to the user, so if some unscrupulous operator has encoded a premium-rate SMS or phone number into the tag, hey guess what, the Tag Reader will automatically send that SMS at $5 a pop or call that $10 a minute phone number and you'll be liable for the bill.

This Microsoft code is closed, proprietary, and only encodes a "reference ID" that's tied back to a server. It's basically CueCat II and will be just as successful as CueCat.

Reporting is pretty baseline as it only provides aggregate #s as opposed to any geo or platform specific data.
