NTT Docomo will be launching its mobile wallet service on a global basis in 2012, in partnership with Japan's MasterCard, allowing NTT Docomo customers to make purchases at merchants supporting MasterCard's PayPass terminals.
The service will leverage a new generation of mobile phones that support both near field communications and the embedded Sony FeliCa chips used to power NTT Docomo's existing Osaifu-Keitai service.
