SMS - The Little Engine That Keeps Driving the Mobile Industry

September 12, 2008

Text-Messaging Rates Come Under Scrutiny | online.wsj.com

The Hard Part is Payments

July 15, 2008

Mobile Payment Transactions Will Grow, Research Shows | www.billingworld.com

Whilst the US has seen an explosion in Mobile Banking it is yet to see the users trust the service for Payments. Payments needs to address not just the Banked but the Unbanked, in Africa Vodafone and MTN have  established services that allow micropayments to be made to those that have no Bank Accounts.  The ability to make person-to-person payments is something that sees the service grow. Qualcomms Firethorn service whilst signing a number of contracts is yet to launch.  This service uses a Java Applet rather than SMS and Browser based technology to allow users to access multiple banks rather than a single bank.  This thus should enable a better uptake of Payments rather than Banking Services. The Stakeholders in the Mobile Banking world are moving towards a mobile wallet that uses NFC based technology to allow users to "wave and pay".
