->> They only thing that caught my attention is that rather than a fee they are thinking of having users make a charitable contribution per use. Fee's are a straight forward COB and written as such on my filings. Charitable contributions on the other hand aren't so clear cut and can have other implications.

Here's to hoping that they make the device business friendly.

->> just had a quick idea though....why not use the phones camera as a way to aid with identity...might be easier to catch cc frauds if their picture was attached to every transaction.

->> Perhaps for businesses, they will have the ability to pay a merchant or transaction fee, funding the devices continued development - not just the donations?
