Hi,
What about TCP/IP over ethernet?? That's an infrastructure just like
smartcards are an infrastructure... It's the applications that a
ubiquitous card/reader system would enable that are
important... and I daresay required befor smartcards become
ubiquitous....
Applications can be as diverse as the people of the world... The key
issue is: If the cards and readers were ubiquitous and interoperable,
a particular application could work anywhere that there was software
support for it.... infinite flexibility...
Heck, what kind of world would it be if you had to have a particular
kind of computer for every website that you might want to browse?? A token
ring computer for websites on token ring, a Compaq computer for websites
hosted by a Compaq server??
