Rob Conway, CEO der GSMA: „“There is no doubt that there is a huge latent demand for a large variety of mobile transaction services, of which there is universal interest in proximity payments, as trials across the world have already shown. We are committed to ensuring that mobile payment services are delivered as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. But this will require device manufacturers to make sure that the vast majority of commercially available handsets incorporate the Single Wire Protocol and Near Field Communications features as standard.““ Ein steigendes Bedürfnis nach mobilen Bezahldiensten hätten auch die Ergebnisse ihrer im Rahmen der Initiative “Pay-Buy-Mobile” durchgeführten Projekte in 8 Ländern ergeben, betont die GSMA. Weitere Projekte seien derzeit in 14 Ländern geplant. www.gsmworld.com
