More and more telecom
operators, banks and retailers are teaming up to offer mobile payment solutions
around the world, and the global mobile payment market is growing rapidly.
M-commerce and mobile
contactless transactions are poised to promote ‘less-cash’ societies all over
the world. Our usage surveys show that North American and Western European
markets in particular are geared up for the beginning stages of a full-fledged
adoption of the digital wallet,” said Nizar Assanie, vice president (Research)
at IEMR.
The report is based on
IEMR’s Global Consumer Telecommunications Survey which covers 50,000 mobile

Direct carrier billing will be a
catalyst for innovation within mobile payments industry
Recently, mopay
predicted that direct carrier billing will be a catalyst for innovation and
change within the mobile payments industry in 2012.
It added that more and
more organizations across vertical industries will introduce direct carrier billing
solutions in 2012, primarily driven by increased globalization and consumer
concern for online security given the explosive growth of identity theft and
the rash of recent data breaches.
