NFC In The UK Inches Towards Mainstream Adoption

The UK’s Vodafone, O2 and Everything Everywhere (Orange and T-Mobile) networks have collaborated on an NFC joint-venture that will put the squeeze on businesses to start offering NFC as a payment option for customers, and allow customers of any network with any NFC-equipped phone to use the service. They’re hopeful it’ll launch sometime before next year. [Everything Everywhere]
