"But any new standards from the GSMA could conflict with a certification program launched by the NFC Forum late last year for NFC phones and other products. In addition, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute sets standards for SIM cards, including NFC-enabled SIMs, while GlobalPlatform has been writing specifications for how applications will be stored and downloaded on the secure element on SIM cards and other secure chips in phones."

SIM as de facto secure element

The politics of control of the secure elements:

"Many of the NFC-enabled smartphones that will be introduced by handset makers starting this year will carry embedded secure chips that could host applications not in the control of operators. That could create tension between telcos and handset and mobile platform suppliers since many of the GSMA mobile operators are pinning their business cases for NFC on controlling the secure elements in NFC phones. That is why they want the SIM to be the de facto secure element."
