7. NFC - You've Come a Long Way (or not?)
• Why did we move towards social networks anyway?
– High user numbers on consumer side
– Good reputation among companies
– But, where is the business case?
– NFC came a long way in terms of assumed infrastructure, but
not as a technology
– The social networks link is rather new
• A solution to the „Chicken and Egg“ thing?
– High user numbers are possible
– High adoption rate can be tough (tipping point)
– But, where is the business case then?
