You heard it wildly speculated about here first.

It’s based on a new Nokia handset, the ‘6131-NFC’, which has a specific new kind of wireless technology built in. So you’ll need to buy a new handset for it. There are also issues with “the logistics of managing tickets within the phone interface, and the security of the system”. The handset actually has a special “secure memory module” to store the ticket information.

Impressive collaboration. And technology.

Too bad I got there first:

Typical.

Yes, yes, I know, ideas are ten a penny, and the value’s in the execution not the concept. Still, I like to keep track of these little non-victories.
