Which Industry Isn't Commonly Mentioned as Potentially Leading Mobile Payments?

Mobile service providers, retailers, app providers, banks, mobile device manufacturers and payment clearing networks are among the industries always mentioned as having key interests in mobile payments. 


But the mobile "payments" business has broadened to include a distinct "mobile wallet" segment, a point of sale segment. Of those segments, the wallet segment now has taken a sharp turn towards marketing, advertising and loyalty as the revenue driver. 


In that regard, the one possible new segment that hasn't asserted influence, so far, is the consumer packaged goods industry, which provides the source of funds for much of the advertising, marketing and offers business.
