Contactless payment systems are now being advertised on television in the UK. How successful the new Contactless will be will soon be evident as the systems are lolled out through out the UK but I have read allot of peoples blogs who are looking forward to the new systems. They will also be available to pay for mobile phones by simply passing the phone in front of the terminals.
