What's New In The World Of Wireless?  Find out at the Wireless Industry News Blog

 

In the link above, I wrote an article lamenting the "fact" that there seems to be very few new things coming this year in the wireless industry. 

I do come up with a list of a few interesting topics, but none interest me as much as mobile commerce.  I want to know:

WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO BUY A COUCH OR A CAN OF PAINT BY USING MY CELL PHONE?

I assume this will eventually be done using one of these methods:

  • SMS solution

  • transponder solution

  • phone call solution

  • two-way data authentication solution (I just made that up)

Imagine getting your cell phone bill and looking at a list of transactions and seeing purchases at the convenience store, movie theater, furniture store, etc. and seeing that your provider is your new bank/lender?  Imagine the amazing profits they'll start making by charging you 18% interest for all those purchases?

BILLIONS MORE IN PROFITS FROM A NEW STREAM OF INCOME!!! 

I'd love to see wireless providers as the new credit card company.

Every once in a while, you'll see articles on this subject, but nothing ever seems to happen.  Sure, there are various places in the world that see some mild success with this flavor of mCommerce, but still not a single peep in most other places. 

I can't wait for mCommerce.  I hate cash.  Long live the cell phone!
