Dear Colleague,
We couldn’t have picked a better week to host our security and interoperability for NFC webinar.
Register for Webinar here.
First Everything Everywhere, Telefónica UK and Vodafone UK announced a joint venture to drive the adoption of m-commerce. The partners will develop the technology to enable consumers to transfer their entire physical wallet into a new secure, SIM-based wallet – irrespective of NFC enabled mobile device, or mobile network.
The news caused some analysts to predict that “by next year, everybody could potentially be using their ‘digital wallet’ to pay for their goods and services.”
This concept of service interoperability and cross-industry partnership is also the central theme of this quarter’s newsletter, albeit from a machine to machine (M2M) perspective.
We hear from Geoffrey Zbinden, Head of M2M at Orange Group, on the challenges and opportunities of this rapidly expanding market – and get the inside track on the Orange Group / Deutsche Telekom M2M interoperability initiative in Europe.
Watch The Interview here.
Our regular spotlight article The Feature takes the M2M debate further, discussing the inherent security challenges of this brave new world.
Read The Feature here.
Both NFC and M2M will take centre stage alongside LTE and a host of other topics at this year’s SIMposium, now less than a week away. We still have some delegate places available – and it’s free to operators and end-users. So if you haven’t booked yet, now is the time to do so.
Book for SIMposium2011 here.
I hope you enjoy this edition of our newsletter and I look forward to seeing many of you in Berlin next week.
As always, we’re keen to hear your comments and questions. Please email us at marketing@simalliance.org .
Best regards

Welcome to the fourth edition of SIMalliance Quarterly Newsletter
Dear Colleague,
Type Mobile Identity into a search engine and you won’t be too surprised to see a new virus, malware or similar app attack making headlines.
That’s the curse of today’s IP enabled mobile market: there’s always something bad to talk about. But equally, where there’s a problem, there’s very often a solution.
And that’s exactly the discussion we’ll be having in this quarter’s newsletter. We’ll be talking identity and security in The Interview with Futuretext’s Ajit Jaokar, looking at the challenges and opportunities for the ecosystem. >>

Dear Colleague,
A lot can happen in one week!
This week we chose to remind the industry of the importance of the SIM card, not only for the user’s freedom of choice and security but also for operators who want to retain control of their network access and usage.
This announcement was followed by a plethora of press coverage, including an article from Mobile Europe's editor Keith Dyer that perfectly summarized the situation.
>>Dear Colleague,
Whether pioneering new forms of m-payment, supporting moves into the Cloud or defining (and refining) new interoperability standards, the SIMalliance, its working groups and its members continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, what makes commercial sense and critically, what’s next.
