NFC Mobile Payments - Beautiful Says Dutch Retailer!

Dave Birch's latest Digital Money Forum podcast is a classic. Dave interviews Rover van Mierlo, Director Central Logistics and Innovation of Schuitema NV, the second largest retailer in The Netherlands, about a six month NFC mobile payments trial recently concluded at the C1000 supermarkets.

Mierlo works for a major retailer who's itching to deploy NFC - but can't.
