NFC - Eurosmart article in Smart Card Technology International

Eurosmart Vice Chairman Oyvind Rastad published an article on NFC in the last publication of Smart Card Technology International, entiled "NFC - the key for smart access to the digital world" .

This article reminds that mobile NFC services hold the promise of simplifying interactions between the physical and digital world. It also stresses that the long wait for successful commercial NFC services will not come to an end until the key players of the value chain agree to a business model where each player gets their rightful share of the value created.
