Visa CEO Sees Collaboration with Wireless Industry as Key to Unlocking Potential of Mobile Payments CTIA Keynote Address Unveils Key Wireless Partnerships and Investments Mobile payment is at a critical moment in its development, and realizing its full potential will require close collaboration between the wireless and payment card industries, Visa USA President and CEO John Philip Coghlan said in a keynote address at the CTIA Wireless conference. "Given the striking similarities in the paths our two industries have traveled, it is only natural we have arrived at a moment of convergence," Coghlan said. "In fact, the convergence of payments and mobile communications is not just logical - it is inevitable." Taking the stage in Orlando in front of several thousand attendees, Coghlan detailed the steps Visa is taking to advance mobile payments, such as the recently announced Visa mobile platform. Visa's mobile platform is a set of mobile services and enabling technologies that serve as flexible building blocks for the development of mobile payment solutions by the financial services and mobile telecommunications industries. Coghlan stressed Visa's commitment to partner with wireless and financial industry leaders enabled by the Visa mobile platform. He underscored this message by announcing a number of strategic alliances and partnerships: dotMobi - Visa announced a strategic investment in dotMobi, a consortium of wireless industry leaders that is pioneering the use of the ".mobi" domain address and is enabling the integration of enhanced mobile commerce into the mobile consumer Internet experience. Ecrio - Visa announced a strategic alliance and investment in Ecrio, a leading provider of software for mobile phones on 3G networks; Ecrio enables the redemption of barcode-enabled coupons and tickets from mobile devices at existing point of sale (POS) systems VeriSign - A leading provider of digital infrastructure, VeriSign today announced it will support the Visa mobile platform. As part of the agreement, Visa will use VeriSign's content delivery services to provide mobile offer management capabilities. Qualcomm - Visa is working with Qualcomm, a leading developer of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, to help bring CDMA and WCDMA platforms to market that include NFC, and support the Visa mobile platform. Kyocera Wireless - The innovative handset manufacturer has agreed to support the Visa mobile platform and will showcase the platform on CDMA-based phones that include NFC at the CTIA event. "Visa is committed to working with technology leaders, large and small, that together can unlock the enormous value inherent in our respective networks," Coghlan said. "Our strategic investments and partnerships underscore our commitment to laying the foundation for secure and ubiquitous electronic payment on mobile devices." During his presentation, Coghlan released the results of a Visa survey[1] that looked at consumer attitudes toward mobile payment. Highlights included: Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed expressed interest in getting a phone with a payment application when shown what a payment-enabled phone might look like.[2] Nearly 90 percent of those who were interested in mobile payment said they would pay extra for a phone with this feature. Sixty-four percent of consumers in the survey aged 18-42 said they would consider switching mobile carriers from one that does not offer mobile payment capabilities to one that does, assuming they could keep their phone number. Fifty-eight percent of the same age group said they would consider switching financial institutions to gain access to mobile payment services. By a ratio of five to one, consumers would prefer mobile purchases to pass through a credit or debit card network and appear on their card statement instead of appearing on their wireless bill. "These numbers show me that younger consumers want the best of both worlds -- they want the freedom and functionality of a mobile phone with the security, convenience and ease of use of their debit or credit card," Coghlan said. About Visa USA Visa USA is a leading payment brand and the nation's largest payment system, enabling banks to provide their consumers and business customers with a wide variety of payment alternatives tailored to meet their evolving needs. Visa USA is committed to increasing the choice, convenience, acceptance and security of Visa payments for all stakeholders in the payment system -- members, cardholders and merchants.

The truth makes me happy ... it allows me to re-evaluate my domain

portfolio ... cut my losses ... increase my position in other domains or other

extensions ... in brief it gives me investment direction.

you had one good post that seemed to be a brainstorm and i answered it because the others like this one... they deserve no arguments

if you were in a forum two years after LLL.com buyout would you be bashing them because they were "bad names" under your POV?

give us a break or have more brainstorms!

Here we go again...When we are finaly having an intelectual conversation....You have to keep saying the same old crap. I asked you 3 times the same question yesterday and and you refused to answer me.

This is the route by which people got banned...

Once again "the egging on without facts." There is no need for this.

Cosmic, I open this up to everyone now...

Why Does Cosmic hate .mobi so Much?

And please state it in your own oppinion everyone and supply facts please!, don't just keep saying "I don't like .mobi"

ANd the Biggest question Cosmic? DO you think its bad that Visa signed on to .mobi, even though it is taking a year. How long did the internet take to get fully adapted?

Ok I'll bite. I think it's because he's caught between his many 'GOOD keyword .mobi's' and being a 'naysayer follower'; and can't decide to renew or not!! (These are such good keywords!!) Life can be tough when you have to make your own decisions, and live with them! Good or bad!! Especially when the 'myopic masses' are lined up on one side and one wants to 'sooo believe them', but has some lingering belief in the other side too. It always seems easier to follow and berate others, then to face the fears and uncertainties of self intuitiveness.

No matter the cause or subject in life - Make a plan, debate the pros and cons, make a decision...and live with it! Life is so much more enjoyable knowing you are in charge!
