    '''Protocol requirements''' for the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] seem to include at least:


    *Each high-capability [[terminal device]] involved probably has an [[IP number]] issued from a block someone controls.  Every [[retail shelf]] might ultimately have one too, if [[friendly retail]] becomes the norm.
    *[[HTTP]] and [[REST]] to the [[web browser]], as typical access to [[Development Wiki]] and [[Research Wiki]].


    *Some integration with [[ICQ]] or another [[chat net]] that can support [[SecureIM]] - [[Consumerium Service access]] should include access to other users, especially if [[brand management]] types can pay to promote [[green light]] products to users, making it all [[self-funding]].
    *Each high-capability [[terminal device]] presenting a [[Consumerium buying signal]] probably has an [[IP number]] issued from a block someone controls.  Every [[retail shelf]] might ultimately have one too, if [[friendly retail]] becomes the norm.


    [[Hardware requirements]] and [[hardware standard]]s constrain the protocols:  [[Bluetooth]] for instance is assumed to be required to get both secure communication and [[modular hardware]].  But if [[in-store radio]] and [[audio]] presentation becomes a more effective way to deliver the [[Consumerium buying signal]], and [[privacy risk]] is not a concern, i.e. most of what is delivered is [[green light ad]]s, then in-the-clear [[FM radio]] may well be the most important protocol, with [[analog cell]] perhaps augmenting it.
    *Ideally, some integration with [[ICQ]] or another [[chat net]] that can support [[SecureIM]] - see [[interwiki identity standard]] for more on this, which suggests [[jabber.org]] protocol may play a role in [[authentication]].  Possibly [[SMS]] also for communication between [[mobile device]]s.


    Entirely different protocols such as [[walkie-talkie]] or [[cordless protocol]] applications that call the customer back with an [[audio]] presentation on the product they just [[barcode scan]]ned, may also alter the picture completely.
