Omniprime was the group behind the mobile cinema tickets. * Good to see the system integration between MRT, Smart and most especially SUN!. This is the kind of collaboration we’re looking for to make more robust and more inclusive mobile services (instead of the giant telcos developing services that don’t work with the rival telco — we want services that are interoperable) * It turns out Omniprime is the system integrator for the MRT mobile tickets which I discussed back in August 2007.

Mastercard PayPass is already being implemented in other countries, including the USA, Canada, and Malaysia, and some of the partners in the Philippines include Smart Communications and various local banks. It is a contactless RFID solution that will enable quick and easy payment and identification by bringing your card in proximity to the readers. Many people have already used this type of technology : think radio-access cards used to open some office doors. We are working hard on rolling out new and improved kiosks in all the MRT stations and surrounding commercial areas including the malls. We also recognize that we'll have to convince people with a tangible benefit to keep this card in their wallets and to use it on a regular basis. It'll be more than just a card. We apologize for being a little vague, but we do have to keep some of the launch details under wraps until we finalize all the details. Your comments are really helpful! Thanks.

PayPass is but just one of the the contactless payment solution/provider that uses the technology. I actually have a demo unit right in front of me that I've been tinkering around with for the past two week. Can't wait to see it in use all over the metro.
