Comments on: Viva GlobalPlatform! http://javacard.vetilles.com/2008/05/30/viva-globalplatform/ A weblog on Java Card, security, and other things personal Thu, 18 May 2017 07:26:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.32 By: lexdabear http://javacard.vetilles.com/2008/05/30/viva-globalplatform/#comment-3186 Sat, 31 May 2008 17:12:35 +0000 http://javacard.vetilles.com/2008/05/30/viva-globalplatform/#comment-3186 I would go even one step further.. in my opinion, if the mobile network operators are not going to transform to service providers and open up the SIM, the following can be anticipated:
– new “disruptive” players will come into the game and force a change
– SIM will be just a pure authentication element to start a connection
– multiple secure elements in the mobile phone will provide the flexibility to handset manufacturers and service providers
– the user will likely to choose a device which is extendable .. NFC might be a starting point
– the service providers will like to choose a device which is more open and based on open standard

Google started to shake on the fundaments .. not only with Android, but also with the bidding on the frequency band .. a wink to the industry.
