Indian telecom operator Tata DoCoMo in partnership with XIUS will trial Near Field Communications (NFC) based mobile payments in Hyderabad.
Initially, operator based services like mobile phone top-up as well as content like ringtones and wallpapers will be on offer.
Tata DoCoMo will use the NFC based payments to increase its retail points of presence and expand the availability of services to coffee shops and most interestingly, through self-service Active Posters.
Active Posters are paper-thin-self-service terminals with glass touch sensing, enabling as many as 18 retail touch points at any customer gathering point.
