Japan’s Top 3 Mobile Carriers Agree To Support Global NFC Standard | TechCrunch

It is good that the top 3 mobile carriers in Japan want to join the global community of cell phones carrier service providers but our top carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Sprint) in the U.S. are strong competitors and are offering very good deals for the holidays. http://bit.ly/tAKPJ3

I'm really hoping NFC catches on in Europe and the US. I lived in Japan and paying by mobile is one of the most convenient things ever created. Google Wallet is a great start, but the device & service that will propel it hasn't come to the masses yet.
@Geo Rodriguez
This is huge news for NFC. A push in the right direction for what I believe is a grossly under estimated form of future technologies. I'm seeing the biggest marketing ploy throughout with this technology.
@Tatsuki Konno
Type A and Type B NFC standards?
@Karl Baron
My phone is Type O, since it's sociable, optimistic and a bit rude and jealous

The real question is why didn't the rest of the world adopt osaifu keitai which has worked for years here in Japan, instead of re-inventing the wheel with a new standard (or 2, wtf is Type A and Type B)?
