Phones could manage license agreements
A recent study on software protection found that “half of the countries studied have a piracy rate of 62 per cent or higher”. Seeing the large opportunity, one researcher suggested that a mobile phone plus the modern Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) smart card platform could provide a secure yet convenient solution to manage license agreements. Future mobile phones could support Near Field Communication, enabling them to act as virtual license tokens or as token readers, according to the Times of Malta. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/contactlessnews-4.gif)
