Bluetooth Payment System Testing
in Sweden
Ericsson announced a Bluetooth test program for wireless payment
technology which is taking place in Sweden during May and June with
100 Eurocard customers as participants. The Eurocard customers are
using its R520m mobile phone with built-in Bluetooth technology for
the trial, representing the first time that an internationally valid
payment form has been used in such a situation.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: This is the first
piece of the payment puzzle - an obvious and visible one but a
simple piece. There are many more complex security and backend
application integration and customer ownership issues in the payment
debate. Look at payment
page under m-commerce on our site.
