In today’s Wall Street Journal, the article RIM, Carriers Fight Over Digital Wallet discusses where mobile payment information, or “credentials,” should reside. The phone or the carrier?
From the article:
But RIM and carriers like Rogers Communications Inc. in Canada, and AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA in the U.S., disagree over exactly where on the phone the credentials should reside—and thus who will control the customers, revenue and applications that grow out of mobile payments.
