Japan, one of the
most advanced mobile nations in the world, doesn't want to be a "
cell phone Galapagos" anymore, at least when it comes to payments over NFC. Paying with cell phones is already ubiquitous in Japan, but now the country's top three telcos (
NTT Docomo,
KDDI au, and
SoftBank Mobile) are
trying to switch from the Nippon-only
Osaifu Keitai system to the Type A and Type B NFC standards used globally. The problem for the carriers is that Osaifu Keitai ("Portable Wallet"), which is based on Sony's
FeliCa RFID smart card technology, isn't compatible to the Type A and B NFC standards. Docomo, KDDI, and SoftBank have set up the so-called Japan Mobile NFC Consortium to coordinate the domestic adoption of those standards with "service suppliers and handset manufacturers".
