This scheme will give drivers the option to
pay for parking with NFC-enabled mobile phones in addition to
mobile apps and mobile web for regular phones.
Neil Podmore, vice president of business
development at PayByPhone said:
“This is one of the largest deployments of NFC
technology in the United States and shows the practical benefits
this technology can deliver in terms of ease of use and
convenience.”
Podmore said PayByPhone expect the initiative
to help kick start the more widespread adoption and understanding
of the practical benefits of NFC in 2012.
