Questions for discussion:

  • Do you think this concept of payment will appeal to a mass market of users?
  • What concerns might there be from a customer’s and merchant’s point of view?
  • How problematic do you think is the need for retail terminals?
  • How could technology make this system obsolete very quickly?
