Further on in the same piece, it appears a bunch of telcos (MNOs) are deploying. None in the US that I've identified, though.
"The potential for mobile commerce is huge, noted the GSMA in its press release today, citing an analyst report forecasting tens of billions of euros worth of payment transactions alone on NFC phones by 2015. The association said that many of the world's leading operators were behind NFC and would launch services by 2012, at least in selected markets.
They include such telcos as Orange, Spain-based Telefónica, Germany’s Deutsche Telekom and South Korean telcos SK Telecom and KT Corp., all of which have already have made their intentions to launch NFC clear.
But the GSMA list also includes mobile operators or groups in developing countries or regions, such as China Unicom, América Móvil of Latin America, MTS of Russia and India’s Bharti Airtel.
The other mobile operators on the association’s list are UK-based Vodafone, Norway-based Telenor, Telecom Italia of Italy, Softbank Mobile of Japan, Telekom Austria Group and Qatar's Qtel Group."
