Research and Markets: Mobile Payments 2012-2016 - Most disruptive services presently evolving in the telecoms industry
DUBLIN: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Mobile Payments 2012-2016" report to their offering.
Mobile commerce, especially the mobile payments market, is gaining traction among mobile subscribers, and the uptake of mobile payment mechanisms has begun to disrupt the traditional card-based payment market.
Mobile payment services are one of the most disruptive services presently evolving in the telecoms industry, and have now developed to such an extent that some argue the ever more multi-functional mobile handset could replace the wallet altogether, through cashless and cardless payment systems.

Everyone in the mobile payments ecosystem - mobile network operators, solution vendors, app stores and developers, banks and card issuers, big retailers and other major merchants, handset and device vendors, and consumer associations - are in agreement that the mobile payments space is going to be a big market, but there is currently no consensus on exactly how we are going to get there.
Near Field Communication (NFC) looks strong, but - as with any solution that involves getting the overwhelming majority of the stakeholders within a value chain to work together and cooperate for a major industry change - there are likely to be countless conflicts of interest and endless differing opinions as to how to progress; especially with fantastic opportunities and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of transactions to compete for.

- Introduction
