Something very much like this was tried out in the US around 1996 as a Smartcard product called "Visa Cash". As I recall it didn't go over too well, but according to Visa's web site it is still being used in at least five countries. See link. |

how is this different from mcommerce -- where you can dial a number on your cell-phone to charge things directly to your phone-bill? they're not identical, but it sounds fairly similar; mCommerce is likely to integrate with your bank at some point (or at least with a credit/cash clearing company. mCommerce is in it's infancy, but eventually, it will probably have all the features you're talking about here -- without needing anything other than your phone. |
