The dream of consolidation simply requires everyone
to focus on the fact that the technology already exists. Wearlogic created the flexible
components to store computers in vest coats. Solar cells already power calculators. Smart
Cards based on the Global Platform or Multos are multi-application by default. Nokia, Palm, RIM and
others have integrated the PC with the mobile phone. People are talking about body computers.
The only issue remaining is deploying the infrastructure
Installed based on common standards:
GPS, ISO8583, ISO7816, EMV, ISO11443, Blue Tooth, SMS, GSM, GPRS
and a long list of others
Most are settled, a few futuristic ones still need
help

It also requires
co-operation to understand
We know what brands/ relationships we have in our pockets
Its not because, we carry your card in our pockets
Its because
we want to have a relationship with you too
