The R&D department of France Telecom has developed a mini-site showing some scenarios and examples of use of NFC-enabled mobile phones.
With the contactless NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, a new range of innovative services is possible. Depending on the situation, the NFC phone can turn itself into a means of payment at the check-out, a pass to open a variety of access gates, as well as a means of garnering information about its immediate environment.
