Danish Operators Join Forces on Mobile Wallet

TDC, Telenor, TeliaSonera and Three are cooperating on the launch of a digital wallet service based on near field communications in Denmark. Note the emphasis on "wallet," or credentials management, rather than "payment."

The roll-out will start in the fall of 2011, but it will take a few years before the technology reaches widespread adoption, the companies say.

Consumers will be able to use their mobiles to pay for goods, services and travel, at a discount if digital coupons are available, and also open doors at hotels or borrow a book at the library.
