Good work Everything Everywhere. I’m looking forward to buying a sandwich from Pret with my handset. Bring it ON!

    The thing I was wondering about was how all these different nfc efforts are going to inter-work. Will the retailers that sign up for Orange/Barclaycard scheme be able to use their nfc reader to take payments from another scheme or not?

    I do wonder about that

    I believe the Orange / Barclaycard system is ‘just’ Visa PayWave so it will work with all Visa’s ‘touch’ payment cards regardless who issued them. I don’t think Mastercard’s system is out yet.
