Summary

Abstract

In some countries, particularly Japan and South Korea, payments via the mobile phone are an actuality. But elsewhere, the clearest path to true mobile payments will be at the merchant point of sale and will depend on the availability of near field communications (NFC) technology for contactless payments. First, stakeholders will need to explore and exploit NFC's myriad possible uses. This Research Note provides a brief overview of NFC, applications for the technology, and the factors that will need to be in place in order for NFC to reach its maximum potential. TowerGroup presents a conservative forecast for the worldwide availability of NFC-enabled mobile phones through 2012.
