The mobile phone attracts an increasing number of service applications enabled by technical developments. On-going efforts aim to widen the scope of mobile payments and ―turning the mobile phone into a wallet‖ with the help of Near Field Technology (NFC). A number of industries are involved in this development. To enable commercial application, at the local policy level, of the new technology for mobile payments reach necessary standardization, technical design, interoperability, security etc., what we call Global Policy Networks are involved.
