I've heard this as well.. can't see the loops being that pricey as the tech already exists, it's just a transfer of use.

I've also heard rumour of a GPS system which uses clever Sat nav type technology & the transponder in the car works like the tracker in your Sat Nav firing the information to a timing screen, although i can't see this coming along soon but the possibilities are endless such as telemetary data such as you see on the F1 coverage giving a live read-out of speed & each cars position on track being pinpointed on a computer.
