Great Article about NFC Deployment by Non-Payment Players (Fast Co.)

In the below article, Fast Company lays out plans for NFC deployment by a range of non-payment players.
  • BMW: introducing NFC technology in their keys, enabling the owner to open doors with NFC, store train and flight tickets on the car key and receive a multitude of data about the car, such as; is it locked?, how much fuel does it have?, where is it parked?, etc
  • LG: developing both NFC enabled phones and point of sale terminals.  By getting involved with POS terminals, it is involved with the whole ecosystem and may better carve out a meaningful role
  • Google, Apple and Nokia: as we I have previously covered, these guys are all developing NFC devices
Beyond payments, Fast Company also make some interesting suggestions for the potential use of NFC in retail and advertising.
