Looking into iBeacon technology and found the google offering [1] alongside the apple version. I'd rather have the infrastructure owned by the property owner and use linked-data more generically (rather than via service provider). Any suggested links for existing solutions that are less service-provider / vendor tied? I also found the paypal beacon [2] which also looked interesting, pondering whether bluetooth ble's might be usable as a 2-part hardware token that people might carry on their keychains (amongst the many other uses)...
