She has a point when she says the value of Visa is to bring to this technology that has been around for years Global-Interoperability. If Visa does it you can use it worldwide. But what About Apple, same may Apply and Apple might do a better job, what with iPhone 5 getting an RFID chip and all.
In Japan and Korea mobile technologies was expected to be welcomed easily. The mobile penetration is the highest in Japan (95%) and they were already using their phones for everything. If they need any information when they are in the street they don't ask, they check straight on the internet. Morevover Japanese and Korean don't really use credit card, they prefer cash. Thus, that was a real improvment for their habbits.
lol korea has BEEN using their cell phones as credit cards 10 years ago. cell phone banking started few years ago too. damn 2020!?!?!? so freakin slow
