Do we really expect consumers to pay for the priviledge of making a payment essentially with their own credit card via a mobile phone? Consumers will only adopt mobile payments if its cheaper, easier and adds value. This increases consumer cost, means i need a case for my phone and doesnt deliver any added value for me...
