Nokia Near Field Communications and privacy study project
Project outline
A research team from LSE investigated how information generated by customers of mobile services is being used and whether customers' behaviour is affected by concerns about privacy. The use of NFC in public transport ticketing schemes, such as the Oyster card in London and the Octopus card in Hong Kong, and applications in retailing will provide case studies for the research. The team will also look at the regulations and policies governing Near Field Communications (NFC) in Europe and Asia and consider the incentives and barriers to the commercial development of NFC.
