NFC Times Take: 

Both T-Mobile and Orange Poland, which plans a Nov. 1, 2012 launch of NFC, hope to tap into the growing infrastructure of contactless payment terminals that number about 90,000 throughout the country. MasterCard Worldwide is playing a key part in both launches. More banks are expected to join the T-Mobile project, including BRE Bank, Millennium bank and Citibank. 

 

* Trusted Service Manager: Defined loosely to include companies or other organizations securely distributing, provisioning and managing applications, generally over the air, on secure elements in NFC mobile phones; or licensing their platforms for this purpose.
