http://m.tuaw.com/2014/10/02/apple-pay-an-in-depth-look-at-whats-behind-the-secure-payment/ It is pretty clear that the traditional payment industry is YEARS after Apple. The missing link is a way combining Security AND Decentralization. The latter is something the "Super-Providers" have no reasons to bother about since they don't need it. So what's the problem then? The only people interested and *prepared* challenging the super-providers represent economically and politically insignificant entities. In addition, this lot is *highly divided* making alternatives poorly funded and marketed. I'm a pessimist? Well, where is your "brave" bank who gladly sinks a couple of million bucks in a risky high-tech project that their competitors can also use? Anders
