Malaysian mobile phone network Maxis has launched the world’s first commercial 'contactless' mobile phone payment system. The Near Field Communication (NFC) system, which follows a number of trial schemes around the world, has been created by Maxis, Nokia, Visa, Maybank and Touch ‘n Go. It means consumers can pay for items in shops, parking and public transport by touching their mobile phone on a special payment point.
