[Astra100]

@Xetra schön ruhig bleiben der habenix ist das nicht wert!
Von der Gehirnmasse hat er 1% mehr wie ein Huhn,hätte
er gleich viel würde er wie die Hühner noch in den Hof
scheißen!!!
Der Auftrag von gestern sollte nur dazu beitragen den
Kurs etwas zu stützen weil der Dou u. die Nasdaq am abschmieren
sind!
Nächste Woche wenn überall die Ferien (auch in USA) vorbei
sind und die Börsenhändler wieder vollzählig sind wird
mit absoluter Sicherheit der langersehnte Großauftrag
präsentiert und die 15$-Marke wird gekackt!!
Ich schätze das der Kurs ab Mittag anziehen wird schließlich wollen viele investiert sein wenn am Motag
der Großauftrag präentiert wird!!

na klar bashan und sein bruder sitzen daheime und schwitzen über der dollar-schwäche... mensch da müssen wir aber schnell nen auftrag nachschieben damit unserer wehrten kleinanleger nicht denken das das weltunternehmen oti probleme mit dem wechselkurs bekommt....

[Hableiderkeingeld]

"Nächste Woche wenn überall die Ferien (auch in USA) vorbei"

Mensch Klasse, Astra Du Intelligenzbestie. Wenn Du sowas schreibst, glaub ich Dir das doch sofort. Lagst mit Deinen Prognosen ja bisher immer richtig.

Wovon handelt der Großauftrag denn ? Dein holder Freund Xetra konnte mir darauf leider keine Antwort geben.
Aber das ist halt seine Logik. Erst auf den Busch klopfen und Majorie spielen und auf Nachfrage kommt nur noch Schulterzucken.

Ich finde, dass ist in etwa so, als wenn man sagt:

"Ich bekomme heute Besuch, weiß aber noch nicht von wem."
oder
"Ich muß heute mal zum Arzt, weiß aber nicht warum"

Ach ja, die Sache mit dem Hirn. Toll von Dir dass Du frequenzer in Deiner sympatischen Art wieder aufbauen willst, nachdem er eigentlich schon zugegeben hatte, dass er gar kein Hirn hat. Ich glaube aber nicht, dass Du ihm damit wirklich hilfst, auch wenns nett gemeint war, schliesslich muss er seine Probleme auch als solche begreifen, damit er sich helfen lässt.

Schlage vor das auch Glavine, atschi und hableiderkeinoti unsere Userbeiträge ausblenden. So brauchen den Mist nicht lesen den wir hier schreiben. Ist doch toll. Keiner muß sich ärgern. Denn wie heißt es so schön.

Ich ärgere mich.

Und das ist doch Schwachsinn. Nicht er oder sie ärgert mich. Nein, ich ärgere mich. Über diesen Satz sollte mal jeder nachdenken. Ich ärgere mich nicht mehr, denn ab sofort weiß ich nicht mehr was hableiderkeinotihirnundgeld und Freunde so einblenden. Weil ich sie ausgeblendet habe. Und so kann sich hableiderkeinoti umtaufen lassen. Wie wärs mit hableiderkeineleser ??? Vergiss es du kannst darauf zwar antworten, aber niemand kann es lesen.

First System-Wide Rollout Of Contactless Smart Card In Petroleum Marketing Industry
New RFID-based payment system will deliver increased convenience and security for Sheetz customers

Sheetz, Inc., one of the fastest growing family owned and operated convenience store chains in the US, is adding Gilbarco Veeder-Root`s new contactless smart card payment option to more than 3,100 fueling positions in the company`s Gilbarco branded dispensers in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio.

Because the contactless smart card payment system is compliant with global standard ISO 14443, and is backed by three major credit card companies, transactions qualify as a card swipe and therefore get the best transaction rate. Sheetz` deployment also avoids other barriers of adopting Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) payment, because no proprietary database/look-up table is required and the major credit card companies will bear the cost of issuing the RF-enabled cards and tokens.

The rollout is also supported by POS systems and software provided by Radiant Systems of Alpharetta, GA and in-store readers provided by VivoTech of Santa Clara, CA. Transaction processing is provided by the WINPAY product from ACI. The combined system will provide unparalleled convenience by enabling Sheetz customers to make purchases with a simple "tap" of an RF-equipped credit card.

In addition, the Gilbarco Veeder-Root contactless smart card option provides greater protection from card skimming at the pump by supporting Dynamic Card Verification Code (CVC) capability of the cards. CVC uses radio frequency power to change the account number with every transaction. Any transaction attempting to use a counterfeit "white card" is rejected by the host, which recognizes that the number has already been used.

"The innovative radio frequency (RF)-based payment options represent one of the most significant payment advancements in the retail industry," said Vince Holbrook, product manager for Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Sheetz maximizes its dispenser investment by making payment for fueling easier and more secure for their customers."

The roll out is expected to be complete by March 2005.

@all

Blendet euch gegenseitig aus - was für ein Unsinn. Das macht dieses Forum dann eigentlich überflüssig, weil sich einige dann nur noch als Geisterfahrer hier betätigen.
Aber irgendwie ist das ja wohl mittlerweile Zeitgeist geworden, daß man die Augen und Ohren verschliesst und sich nicht mehr geistreich auseinander setzt.
Eigentlich war ich immer der Meinung, daß dieses Forum zum Austausch von Meinungen, Ansichten und Informationen dienen sollte und nicht wie derzeit zur Selbstbeweihräucherung oder zum Austausch von Eitelkeiten.
Vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll, das ganze hier wieder vom Kopf auf die Füße zu stellen.

Übrigens: Ich glaube insgesamt an OTI. Ob meine persönliche Meinung zu dieser Aktie richtig ist, wird mir die nähere Zukunft zeigen.
Über sachliche Informationen hierzu bin ich auch weiterhin allen dankbar.

So long, allen investierten weiterhin viel Erfolg.

[frequenzer]

@trapp..

Ich kann dir nur beipflichten...ich gehe immer davon aus, dass die die meinungen austauschen dies objektiv versuchen. Auch ich habe meine lehrstunden mit oti, aber auch anderen aktien in den vergangenen 4 jahren erfahren dürfen...ich habe aber keine lust mich mit gegenüber auseinanderzusetzen, die lediglich daran interessiert sind eine aktie zu "bashen" aus was für gründen auch immer (und diese gründe sind hier im board über 3 jahre erläutert worden)...leider ist eine objektive diskussion zumindestens in meinem sinne hier nicht möglich...und das ist der grund warum so user wie mr100, siegerland, V2a laurent, ulli, kastor usw. an einem gedankenaustausch übers board nicht mehr interessiert sind, wie auch ich

Ich lasse mich aber gerne wieder eines besseren belehren

[Hableiderkeingeld]

@ Trappertoni

Recht hast Du, aber Dir ist ja sicherlich klar, dass Du nach der Kritik an Xetra & Co sofort mit auf die Ausblend-Liste gesetzt und als Erst-ID von mir in Betracht gezogen wirst.
Eigentlich hätte die Pusher-Truppe mich ja ohnehin links liegen lassen können. Jetzt haben sie mich zwar auf die Igno-Liste gesetzt, lesen werden sie es aber trotzdem was ich hier so von mir gebe.

Wo nun der Unterschied zwischen den beiden Varianten liegt, über den sie sich freuen wie Kleinkinder, die gerade eine neue Rassel bekommen haben, bleibt wohl ihr Geheimnis.

Also, ich halte weiterhin meine Augen und Ohren offen und bin, wie hier alle wissen, stets für geistreiche Auseinandersetzungen offen.

[Hableiderkeingeld]

... kaum noch Volumen an der Nasdaq. Und das trotz der Pressemitteilung mit dem Großauftrag aus Polen, und der Empfehlungen von Dutton und Shlomo Greenberg.

Da hat Baldur Banane offensichtlich Recht gehabt mit seiner "Aktien-Tausch-Kurstreibe-Aktion-Vermutung" zum Jahresende. Aber auf Ihn wollte ja niemand hören. Solche Kurse dürften so schnell nicht wieder erreicht werden.

Meiner Meinung nach sollten selbst überzeugte Otisten langsam überlegen, ob sie nicht vielleicht doch erstmal Gewinne mitnehmen, sofern denn welche da sind. Die meisten dürften ja leider noch tief im Roten hocken.

Jau Klasse, ich hab mir gerade mal die anderen Analysen von dem Super-Giga-Analysten angesehen, den Die OTIisten hier zum gegenseitigen Mut zusprechen immer zitieren. Von 5 Buy-Ratings hat er lediglich bei OTI bisher einen Treffer setzen können. Die anderen 4 von ihm auf "Buy" gesetzten Aktien performen seit der Empfehlung ausnahmslos unterdurchschnittlich bzw. liegen sogar im Minus und das bei einem sehr guten Aktienmarkt in den letzten 6 Monaten.
Prima Leistung !!!!




Da ist ja von der Shlomo Greenberg Analyse noch mehr zu halten, bzw. sind Astras Fischmarkt-Bananenverkäufer-Parolen noch glaubwürdiger.

An Eurer Stelle würde ich mir mal ansehen, wer Euch versucht seine Empfehlungen schmackhaft zu machen und nicht jeden Mist blindlings schlucken und glauben nur weil er in Euer eingeschränktes Weltbild passt.

mikroprozessorgestützten Chipkarten-Systemen für die Bereiche nationale Sicherheit,

OTI Receives an Award By the U.S. Government for "`Electronic` Passports"
January 12, 2005 11:11:00 AM ET


FORT LEE, N.J., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd., (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV; Prime Standard [Frankfurt]: OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, micropayments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, OTI America Inc. has been notified by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) that OTI America has received an award under the GPO EP 2004 solicitation to provide Electronic Passports to the U.S. Government. The award is in addition to similar awards, announced in October 2004. It is anticipated that one or several companies will ultimately be selected for the production stage.

Ohad Bashan, President & CEO of OTI America, stated that, "We are very pleased that the GPO has determined to make the award to us. We believe that, on the basis of the work that we will perform under the contract, the technology that we have developed for use in the growing world-wide market for personal identification and other homeland security applications we will be selected for use in the production stage of the U.S. passports."

[optimaxx]

[Go2Bed]

Nicht schlecht, aber was bedeutet dieser ominöse "Zuschlag" jetzt genau?

[Hableiderkeingeld]

@ Go2Bed

wenigstens einer, der sich mit der Meldung mal auseinander zu setzen versucht.

"award" heisst eigentlich Auszeichung und nicht Zuschlag.

Ich vermute, es bedeutet, dass OTI mit in die engere Wahl gezogen wird bei der Auftragsvergabe.

Ein Auftrag ist das noch lange nicht. Das werden die Anleger, die gerade den Preis nach oben treiben aber auch ziemlich schnell merken.

[zentralflughafen]

Nix, ausser dass oti wieder im Rennen ist und das Meckern zwecks Nichtberücksichtigung Erfolg hatte

[Billy-ze-Kick]

... bedenkt aber die hohen Reisekosten Jungs !

[zentralflughafen]

Ich glaube, dass in diesem Fall die Reisekosten nur ein Bruchteil der Aufwendungen ausgemacht haben, deren Ergebnis wir jetzt sehen...

Aber sei`s drum. Die Welt ist schlecht und wir leben in ihr..


@hableidergarnix

[laurent11]

We believe that, on the basis of the work that we will perform under the contract, the technology that we have developed for use in the growing world-wide market for personal identification and other homeland security applications we will be selected for use in the production stage of the U.S. passports."

...when i put all this stuff together it looks to me like

OTI will be providing alot of the non-chip technology to the ePassport initiative.
this would also give OTI a major leg up with all of the countries that have Visa Waiver status with the US.

IMO, none of these revenues are currently reflected in OTI`s market cap.

also IMO, only a tiny fraction of the China ID revenues are currently reflected in OTI`s market cap.

this is going to be a billion dollar company. believe it.

Warum sagt denn keiner den Amis, das der Bashan verkauft hat ?

[Xetra@]

Ist ja ein Wahnsinn. Kursexplosion mit Riesenumsatz. Man muß sich das mal vorstellen. 413509 Stück an der Nasdaq. 11,86 % Plus. Die spinnen die Amis. Aber gut. Der Aktie maschiert und ich bin drinn. So wie es aussieht, ( aber das sieht ja bei OTI jeden Tag anders aus ) , gehts morgen wieder kräftig nach oben. Bei dem Kaufdruck heute nochmal 10 %. Ich denke die 15 haben wir schnell.

Also mit dieser Aktie mach ich was mit. Die raubt mir noch den letzten Nerv.

Die schwachen Hände

Gestern habe ich mit Dietmar telefoniert. Dietmar liest hier bestimmt nicht, deswegen kann ich das schreiben. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Dietmar überhaupt weiß, was eine Aktie ist. Doch jetzt guckt Dietmar sogar jede Stunde einmal in das Börsenfernsehen. „Bloomberg Deutschland, weißt du? Kennst du ja bestimmt.“ Und: „Zum Glück sendet jetzt auch n-tv wieder regelmäßig von der Börse.“ Hatten die überhaupt ausgesetzt? Ich weiß es nicht, denn über meine d-box von Premiere kann ich sie nicht einmal mehr empfangen.

Gestern hat Dietmar seine Aktien verkauft. „Da waren so schlechte Zahlen“, erzählt er mir, „dass der Dax richtig in die Knie gegangen ist. Es wäre natürlich besser, wenn ich gestern schon verkauft hätte, doch in Amerika, haben sie gesagt, sollen die Zahlen noch schlechter werden.“

Natürlich macht Dietmar keinen Markt. Und natürlich ist das auch nichts Besonderes, was ich hier schildere. Es hat nur einfach jemand etwas verkauft. Und im Gegenzug ist jemand eingestiegen. Doch so anschaulich habe ich das selten erlebt, wie die schwachen Hände im Markt herumgeschaukelt werden. Mal sehen, wann Dietmar wieder kauft. Wahrscheinlich dann, wenn sie 200 Punkte weiter oben im Fernsehen sagen, dass jetzt in Deutschland und Amerika gute Zahlen erwartet werden..

[hase100]

Die Amis muessen sich halt erst noch dran gewoehnen, dass Meldungen wie die heutige bei OTI niemals zu zählbarem führen. Mit den Erfahrungen der deutschen Kleinanleger waeren die auch vorsichtiger

@hase

"..., dass Meldungen wie die heutige bei OTI ***niemals*** zu zählbarem führen."

Da lehnst Du Dich aber ganz weit aus dem Fenster. Hast Du einen besonderen Draht zu Bashan oder schließt Du das einfach mal so aus den Meldungen der Vergangenheit?

Ich hätte mir auch eine handfestere Meldung mit konkreten Angaben gewünscht, aber OTI darf sicher nicht alle vorliegenden Infos veröffentlichen.

China und Mastercard z.B. werden in Zukunft schon zu etwas "Zählbarem" führen, oder stellst Du das etwa auch in Frage?

[Alchimist]

Oded Bashan, Präsident und Geschäftsführer von OTI America, hat folgendes erklärt: " Wir sind sehr zufrieden, dass das GPO entschieden hat, uns den Zuschlag zu erteilen. Wir glauben, dass auf Grundlage der Arbeit, die wir nach dem Vertrag erbringen werden, die Technologie, die wir für den weltweit wachsenden Markt für personenbezogene Identifikation und andere Anwendungen betreffend die nationale Sicherheit entwickelt haben, für die Produktion der U.S.-amerikanischen Pässe ausgewählt werden wird."

also bisher ist noch nichts entschieden

[Baldur Banane]

Zu #13.454: OTI ist aus China raus, die Chinesen fertigen die Pässe vollständig selbst.

Der Mohr hat seine Schuldigkeit getan, der Mohr kann gehen.

Und wers nicht glaubt, soll die nächsten Geschäftsberichte und dort besonders die Umsatzzahlen für Asien lesen.

[optimaxx]

..das China selbst produziert ist und wurde nie bestritten, es geht und ging für OTI immer"nur" um die Lizenzen!!!

Unglaublich BaBa,was Du uns wieder zu suggerieren versuchst?

[Xetra@]

@optimaxx

Volle Zustimmung


Und nochmals

China und Mastercard PAyPAss ( hab ich ja schon 100 mal gesagt ) sind Projekte die laufen, und die Geld in die Kasse bringen.

Keinen Auftrag hat es noch für die amerikanischen Reisepässe gegeben. Und auch keinen Zuschlag. Die Meldung ist falsch.


So. Jetzt kriege ich es wieder von beiden Seiten. Schwer hier objektiv zu sein.

Ridges presses for fingerprints on US passports

Including Americans` fingerprints on their passports also is a subject of debate within the U.S. government.

The State Department will begin issuing new electronic or biometric passports within a few months, containing a microchip holding a citizen`s name, birth date and photo.

But while the chip will be able to include fingerprints, none are planned at this point.

"We are expanding the pool of products to test before making an official decision on which products to use."

Dann waren die ersten Firmen wohl doch nicht sooo toll...

Und wenn die ersten Pässe schon im Juni ausgegeben werden sollen, wird sich das Testen ja nicht endlos lange hinziehen.

[Hableiderkeingeld]

Juhuuuu, da ist er ja endlich. Der lang ersehnte Großauftrag in Höhe von sage und schreibe 91736 USD.

J.M. Dutton Verkündet Investition-Meinung: Auf-Schiene Innovationen Kauf-Bewertung reiteriert im US Pass-Preis von Dutton u. von den Teilnehmern
Dienstag Januar 18, 12:10 P.M. UND


EL DORADO HÜGEL, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jan.. 18, 2005 -- j.m. Dutton u. Teilnehmer setzt seine Deckung der Auf-Schiene Innovationen fort (Nasdaq:OTIV - Nachrichten), seine Kaufbewertung mit einem Ziel mit $18.00 Preisen reiterierend. Der Report 10-page durch J.M. Dutton älteren Analytiker Rafael Kapelinski ist an www.jmdutton.com sowie vom ersten Anruf, von Bloomberg, von Zacks, von Reuters und von anderen führenden finanziellen Portalen vorhanden.
Auf-Schiene Innovationen (OTI) verkündet an Januar 12, daß der Firma Teilnahme am Entwicklung Stadium des VEREINIGTE STAATEN ePassport Programms durch die VEREINIGTE STAATEN Zustand-Abteilung zugesprochen worden war. Der Preis ist zusätzlich zu den ähnlichen Preisen zu vier anderen Firmen, die im Oktober 2004 verkündet werden. Es wird vorweggenommen, daß eine oder einige Firmen schließlich für das Produktion Stadium vorgewählt werden. Dieser Preis kommt als beträchtliche Überraschung, besonders da OTI nicht unter den vier ursprünglichen Siegern des ersten Umlaufes eingeschlossen worden war, die zum zweiten Umlauf fortfahren sollten. Wir glauben, daß OTI zu den entscheidenden Vertrag Siegern gehört, die auf der Stärke und der Reife der Technologie der Firma basieren. Wir haben einen Stab am Schätzen des zusätzlichen Einkommen Potentials des Vertrages für OTI genommen. Nachdem wir einige unterschiedliche Drehbücher betrachtet haben, schätzen wir, daß OTI in der LageSEIN sollte erzeugen um $ 2.75 Million und soviel wie $ 20.3 Million im zusätzlichen Einkommen 2005 und 2006. Wir reiterieren unsere Kaufbewertung und erhöhen unser Preisziel von $15 bis $18.

Hey Astra you nerve saw - do you actually know that you go to me and probably not only me alone animal on the cookie with these weak-intimate translations?
Immediately you take therefore the place of Baldur banana in the Depp boss Vierer!

He Astra Sie Nerv Säge - wissen Sie wirklich, daß Sie zu mir und vermutlich nicht nur zu mir alleintier auf dem Plätzchen mit diesen schwach-vertrauten Übersetzungen gehen? Sofort nehmen Sie folglich den Ort der Baldur Banane im Depp Chef Vierer!

Warum verzieht ihr anderen Deppen Euch nicht einfach sang- und klanglos?

[lordknut]

War nicht so wild gemeint, wie sichs liest, habe nur Eure Wortwahl verwendet.
Der Beitrag von Astra war sehr informativ und nützlicher als die Kommentare von "2 Alten aus der Muppets-Show".
Mit Beleidigungen und Lächerlichmachen vertreibt Ihr jene, die hier Meldungen und Übersetzungen anbieten. Dann posten die Leute einfach nur noch links und jeder muss sichs selber übersetzen, oder melden gar nichts mehr. Damit ist nur den bashern und ehrenamtlichen Querulanten und OTI-Nichtbesitzern geholfen.

Ich kann zwar auch nicht perfekt Englisch, aber die Originaltexte verstehe ich trotzdem tausendmal besser als diese Babelfish-Übersetzungen. Wenn ich sie aber wieder in Englisch haben will und sie mir per Babelfish zurück übersetze.... naja, lassen wir das.
Was mich viel mehr nervt, ist die Tatsache, dass hier einige offensichtlich meinen, je mehr OTI-Threads aktiv sind, deto besser entwickelt sich der Kurs. Weshalb in den verschiedensten Foren ständig die verschiedensten Threads aus vergangener Zeit reaktiviert werden.
Dazu tragen nicht nur die bei, die ständig in Uralt-Threads posten, wie Laurel11, sondern auch die, die jeden Link mehrmals, in verschiedenen Threads posten müssen, wie zum Beispiel "Heute-Großauftrag-Astra". Was verprecht Ihr Euch dadurch? Kann man sich nicht auf ein oder zwei Threads einigen ?

Denn heut kommt endlich was ich sag, für OTI ein Großauftrag. Und kannst du ihn in Zahlen auch nicht gießen, die Knospen werden trotzdem spießen. Ein KGV unter 200, ein Kursanstieg daher nicht wundert.

Ja mir war grad dannach.

Jetzt mal ehrlich. Empfhehle eingehend die Zahlen abzuwarten. OTI muß jetzt die Karten auf den Tisch legen. Besser um 20 % teurer einzusteigen, als 80 % tiefer auszusteigen.

MasterCard And AmEx Say Their Contactless Cards Are Secure
MasterCard International and American Express executives maintain that their contactless chips are safe and secure although researchers at Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore cracked the security in a contactless chip used in vehicle security systems and in the ExxonMobil SpeedPass device. A story in Saturday`s edition of The New York Times detailed the efforts of the Johns Hopkins graduate students to get past the security barriers in the Texas Instruments chip, which uses 40-bit encryption with a proprietary encryption algorithm. Don Turk, a SpeedPass spokesman, says the students’ work is being taken seriously, but it’s not seen as a grievous blow to the key fob device that more than 6 million U.S. consumers use to pay for gas with a wave of their tag. “This is still a secure transaction system,” he says, adding that there haven’t been any fraudulent purchases using a SpeedPass device since its launch in 1997. Turk says the SpeedPass device contains no personal information and it uses other practices, such as monitoring usage patterns, to provide security.
The SpeedPass chip differs in several respects from the chips used in the American Express ExpressPay or MasterCard PayPass contactless payment cards, says William Allen, a Texas Instruments spokesman. "They operate at a different frequency. They use different algorithms," Allen says. "The most current encryption, which is incorporated into ExpressPay and PayPass, uses the highest level of encryption that is allowable by the federal government." Those payment chips use 128-bit keys and triple-DES encryption, he says, more robust protocols. Avi Rubin, the professor of computer science who led the research team, says their efforts would have been for naught had the chip had triple-DES protection or 128-bit encryption. "We wouldn`t have been able to break it," Rubin says.
A MasterCard spokeswoman confirms to Card Technology that the chip described in the Times`s story is not the same as used in PayPass. She also says the PayPass chips go through extensive testing and use technology that changes the input data each time the card is used to mitigate possible attacks that copy and replay data. An American Express spokeswoman also confirmed the students` work bore no relation to ExpressPay. Allen says Texas Instruments has not heard of any instances of fraud from its customers who use the 40-bit chip. Colin Tanner, a consultant with United Kingdom-based Consult Hyperion, discounted the implication of the students` work on contactless financial payment cards. "Technically, there`s no implication whatsoever," Tanner says. "What MasterCard, American and Visa have been doing is designing systems based on triple-DES. Those systems are going to be very secure."

TI to deliver RFID solution for MasterCard PayPass
Texas Instruments said Monday that it plans to deliver radio frequency identification chips designed to meet the stringent security requirements for MasterCard International`s PayPass line of RFID payment cards and tokens.


Dallas-based TI (NYSE:TXN) expects to submit the product for MasterCard certification in the second quarter of 2005. Full production is planned to start in the second half of this year.

The chip is the key element in an RIFID based payment system. It incorporates the highest level of security available today, the company said.

The chip allows for this increased level of security because it supports significantly faster rates of data exchange, enabling more complex security information to be passed between an RFID card and reader without affecting the user`s experience.

Texas Instruments is the world`s largest integrated manufacturer of RFID transponders and reader systems.

[Siegerland]

January 17, 2005
TI to Deliver RFID Solution for MasterCard PayPass
Texas Instruments has announced plans to deliver ISO/IEC 14443 compliant RFID chips that meet MasterCard`s PayPass security requirements.

TI`s new 13.56 MHz RFID chip is the latest to be introduced in a series of solutions based on the company`s ISO/IEC 14443 technology platform. This proven platform features products with universally accepted and standardized cryptography, using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) approved crypto algorithms, including Triple DES and SHA-1.
The ISO/IEC 14443 standard allows for this increased level of security because it supports significantly faster rates of data exchange (up to 848 kbits per second), enabling more complex security information to be passed between an RFID card and reader without affecting the user`s experience. As an added feature, read ranges for products based on the ISO/IEC 14443 platform are also limited to 4 centimeters (roughly 1.5 inches), further increasing the security of the transaction.

As credit and bank card issuers expand pilots throughout the United States and into other countries, the opportunity for TI to serve this market with its secure ISO/IEC 14443 solutions is significant. The December 2004 Nilson Report indicates that payment card manufacturers shipped 4.38 billion units to card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, JCB, and ATM cards) and retailers (both credit and pre-paid cards) in 2003. In the first half of 2004, MasterCard`s customer financial institutions worldwide had issued more than 627.5 million MasterCard-branded cards, a 6.6% increase over the same period in 2003, according to an August 2004 MasterCard press release.

"The financial services industry recognizes that ISO/IEC 14443-based RFID solutions provide the stringent levels of security required for conducting payment transactions," said Shawn Rogers, director, wireless commerce and Tag- it(TM) products, Texas Instruments RFid Systems. "With our heritage in pioneering technologies in new markets, we`re working with leading bank card issuers and credit card companies to bring these highly reliable and secure RFID solutions to this market."

PayPass Kicks Off
MasterCard has joined with two NFL teams to offer contactless credit cards

March 02, 2005 -- Last week, MasterCard and MBNA Bank, a leader in affinity credit cards, joined with the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks football teams to bring a major new technology to the market.

So-called contactless cards like MasterCard`s PayPass Card use radio waves to allow special readers to pick up information now stored on a credit card`s magnetic stripe from a few inches away, speeding transaction time. Of more interest to the incentive and promotional industries, the technology can free gift cards from the credit card form, allowing more creative uses. For example, an automobile company could offer potential buyers who test drive a car a Matchbox model with a PayPass chip inside loaded with $10, instead of handing out a traditional, branded gift card.

MasterCard has done several tests of its PayPass technology with retailers like McDonalds. The underlying technology, radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, have been used by ExxonMobil gas stations and a number of mass transit systems in the United States and Europe for years. The U.S. government will soon issue passports that incorporate RFID chips.

The Cardless Future



MBNA`s new credit cards will allow Eagles, Ravens and Seahawks fans to pay for refreshments and souvenirs by tapping their RFID-chip-equipped Extra Points rewards cards against specially marked terminals throughout the two stadiums, rather than by swiping them through traditional card readers.

"Fans benefit from the added speed and convenience in quickly returning to their seats and enjoying the game," said Scott Patrick, vice president, partnership development, of the Seattle Seahawks, in a prepared statement. Merchants benefit from increased speed at checkout: one study in a supermarket showed RFID card technology could cut 18 seconds from the average transaction—a huge savings over the course of a year.

While the MBNA cards retain the traditional credit-card form, the rollout is a significant first step. As cars Incentive reported last year, analysts like Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research`s Catherine Graeber suggest that contactless card technology will start in credit card form, with promotion-friendly formats like model on hold until the technology is ubiquitous and consumers are more familiar with it.

Regal Entertainment Group Casts MasterCard PayPass in Starring Role As New Payment Option for Movie Fans


Purchase NY, April 25, 2005 - Regal Entertainment Group [REG, NYSE: RGC], the largest movie theatre operator in the world, today announced that they will be the first movie theatre circuit to accept MasterCard® PayPass™ at Regal Cinemas, United Artist Theatres and Edwards Theatres throughout the United States. MasterCard PayPass is currently accepted at participating United Artists Theatres in New York City with an expanded, national roll-out to other REG theatre locations to be completed by the summer of this year.

“We continuously seek new opportunities that enhance our customers` experience when going to the movies,” stated Cliff Marks, president, marketing and sales, Regal CineMedia. “With an innovative payment solution like PayPass, we can deliver added convenience, flexibility and improved service to our customers while at the theatre.”

To purchase a ticket or concession at a Regal Entertainment Group cinema, MasterCard PayPass cardholders simply tap their PayPass-enabled MasterCard card on a specially equipped terminal that utilizes a radio frequency chip to complete the transaction. Payment is completed quickly and easily without the hassle of swiping a card, fumbling for cash, or signing a receipt. Moments after the cardholder taps their PayPass-enabled MasterCard card, account details are communicated to the terminal and then processed through the MasterCard network for clearing and settlement.

“With MasterCard PayPass, movie-goers are afforded the convenience, speed and ease of use that is inherent to this contactless payment option,” said Fred P. Gore, senior vice president, North America Acceptance, MasterCard International. “We are pleased to expand our relationship with Regal Entertainment Group by bringing PayPass `to a theatre near you`, and again, offering MasterCard PayPass cardholders another great location to `tap and go`.”

On Track Innovations makes `smart cards`

HUGH R. MORLEY

Associated Press


FORT LEE, N.J. - A hungry office worker pays for his burrito in a downtown Manhattan restaurant by waving a plastic card over an electronic reader.

Palestinians do the same to get security clearance as they cross the Israeli border on their way to work.

So do clinic receptionists in Alabama, to pull up the medical history of a patient arriving to see a doctor.

The cards were developed by an Israeli company with U.S. headquarters in Fort Lee - On Track Innovations Ltd., or OTI. It hopes they will one day become as common as cash.

The "contactless smart card" most often resembles a credit card but holds more information because it`s embedded with a microchip instead of a magnetic strip. The card doesn`t need to be swiped - merely passed near a wireless electronic sensor that swiftly reads the information.

Like a credit card, however, the card can be hooked up to a database and used for many tasks, such as credit or debit payment systems and ID background checks.

OTI - one of at least half a dozen developers and manufacturers of smart cards - believes the speed, flexibility and convenience of the technology offer a timely solution to the growing demand for faster consumer transactions and greater security.

"It`s the next wave of payment and security applications in the U.S. and around the world," said Ohad Bashan, president and CEO of the company`s U.S. arm, OTI America. And those enticed by the idea include the U.S., Israeli and Chinese governments and several major American financial services companies.

The U.S. State Department is mulling eight bids - among them one by OTI - to develop a chip that can be embedded in a passport to help stop document fraud. The chip probably would contain the same personal data found in the passport, and the holder`s photo, said Kelly Shannon, a spokeswoman for the State Department`s Bureau of Consular Affairs. When a traveler seeks to enter the country, she said, "the passport is read, the digital image pops up on screen" and it`s biometrically compared to a photo taken of the traveler.

"If they don`t match," Shannon added, "then that could be a flag that the person traveling on the passport isn`t the person to whom it was issued."

About three weeks ago, J.P. Morgan Chase launched contactless credit cards called "blink." MasterCard introduced its own version, called "PayPass," last year. And on June 6, American Express announced it would begin issuing a blue contactless card that uses its ExpressPay credit card technology.

Both MasterCard and J.P. Morgan use cards and readers developed by OTI, among others; American Express uses OTI`s reader, but not their card.

Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a trade group of card developers and manufacturers, said the financial institutions hope the ease of contactless cards will get them accepted in locations where credit cards have traditionally been shunned as too slow.

The small but growing number of merchants accepting contactless cards include some McDonalds restaurants, Sheetz convenience stores, Ritz Camera centers, 7-Elevens, CVS drug stores and movie theaters owned by Regal Entertainment Group.

"Our customers need speed," said Scott Rau, senior vice president for J.P. Morgan. "Quick service restaurants, movie theaters, drug stores - those are the places where we expect customers to get the best benefit."

The OTI story began in 1990 in Rosh Pina, Israel, the company`s world headquarters. Founder and current CEO and chairman, Oded Bashan - Ohad`s father - had worked with a simple, early version of the technology as CEO of another company, but started OTI to explore the potential of the idea.

Today, the company has a German manufacturing plant, a Polish software development facility, a South African sales office and 236 employees, most of them in Israel and Europe. Seven years ago, OTI`s U.S. arm opened in California; it moved in October to Fort Lee, where the dozen employees work mostly in marketing.

The company began trading on the Nasdaq in December. Since then, shares have risen from $5.25 to $13.29, driven by strong sales but no profits. Last year, OTI had revenue of $23.1 million, up 18 percent over the year before, and a net loss of $9.2 million.

Frederick D. Ziegel, a principal at Soleil Securities, a New York-based independent research firm, said OTI has shown its contactless technology works, but needs to hustle it more.

"It`s a marketing game," he said. "Their big challenge is to get in a position to be a technology supplier."

As part of that effort, OTI on June 8 signed a partnership with Ingenico - a global leader in electronic payment systems - to develop contactless readers for its customers. And in the search for other partners or customers, OTI can point to a growing portfolio of global projects.

In Israel, drivers use in-vehicle parking meters embedded with OTI technology into which prepaid parking fees are uploaded. Meter clerks can check for payment by scanning the card through the window.

Petroleum companies in South Africa, Peru and Turkey use the technology in their gasoline payment cards. And more than 10,000 patients of clinics run by Alabama-based Harmonex carry contactless cards, which store their biographical and medical data as well as information on their insurance coverage, OTI officials said.

The Chinese government picked OTI and another company to develop a readable chip that can be embedded in the 860 million or so national identification cards soon to be distributed to its citizens, OTI officials said.

To Ohad Bashan, however, the quality of the company`s product is best demonstrated in a six-year-old project developing a card-based security system for the Israeli government to stop possible terrorists crossing the Erez border in the Gaza strip.

As Palestinian workers place their hands on an electronic fingerprint reader, a computer checks the prints and information on their ID card against a database of prescreened workers eligible to cross the frontier.

"We are not talking about plans," Bashan said. "This is here, and now, and real."

Hallo zusammen.

Ich hatte vor ein paar Tagen eine Meldung von Gemplus gefunden, finde sie aber nicht mehr auf deutsch, daher hier auf französisch (05.07.05).

Frage an die Spezialisten an Bord: Heißt das, daß Gemplus die Karten mit OTI inside herstellt? Oder haben die eine Lizenz von OTI oder wie funktioniert das?

Jetzt wird also in großem Stil produziert!?

Meijer Stores and GE Consumer Finance Introduce MasterCard(R) PayPass as Newest, Most Convenient Payment Option
08.15.05, 1:40 PM ET

Company Becomes First Super Center Chain in the U.S. to Offer `Tap and Go` Contactless Payment Technology GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Meijer Stores, a grocery and general merchandise retailer, and one of the fastest growing privately-owned companies in the United States, today announced it is the first super center chain in the United States to accept MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) as a contactless payment option at all of its 171 locations. By early fall, all Meijer gas pumps will be equipped to accept MasterCard PayPass as well.

"As an early adopter of this new payment option, we recognize the importance to our customers of saving time at checkout," said Michael Ross, director of marketing strategy and customer relationship management for Meijer. "MasterCard PayPass is part of Meijer`s continuing efforts to invest in solutions for serving customers quickly and efficiently."

Meijer also announced today the upcoming availability of the PayPass- enabled Meijer Platinum MasterCard(R) card. The card, issued by GE Consumer Finance, a leading provider of credit services, combines the features and benefits of the Meijer private label store card with the worldwide acceptance of a MasterCard card and the added functionality of PayPass contactless `tap and go` payments. The card has all the privileges of an in-store card, including access to exclusive sales, promotions and loyalty rewards, plus all the benefits of a traditional bankcard -- worldwide acceptance, competitive APRs and rewards on out-of-store spending. Customers who use the card at Meijer earn points towards Meijer Bucks, which can be redeemed for merchandise. Cardholders accrue two points for each dollar spent in-store and one point for each dollar spent elsewhere. Cardholders can earn additional points through special seasonal offers and fuel purchases.

"We`re excited about the rapid growth of our relationship with Meijer and making the shopping experience as easy, quick and convenient as possible for their consumers," said Margaret Keane, president and chief executive officer of the Retail Consumer Finance unit of GE Consumer Finance-Americas.

MasterCard PayPass allows cardholders to simply tap their PayPass-enabled MasterCard card on a specially-equipped terminal that utilizes a radio frequency (RF) chip to complete the transaction. Payment is completed quickly and easily, without the hassle of swiping a card, fumbling for cash or signing a receipt. Moments after the cardholder taps their PayPass-enabled MasterCard card, account details are communicated to the terminal and then processed through the MasterCard network for clearing and settlement.

"Enabling the Meijer Platinum MasterCard card with PayPass simplifies and enhances the customer experience in-store and at the pump," said Fred P. Gore, senior vice president, North America Acceptance, MasterCard International. "MasterCard cardholders, including Meijer Platinum cardholders, can continue to enjoy the flexibility, convenience, security and global acceptance that comes from carrying a MasterCard card. With the new PayPass option, they can add speed and ease of use too."

MasterCard PayPass is currently accepted at participating McDonald`s, 7- Eleven stores, CVS, Ritz Camera Centers, Boater`s World Marine Centers, Sheetz, and Regal Entertainment Group theatres (Regal Cinemas, United Artists Theatres and Edwards Theatres). It is also accepted at Qwest Field, M&T Bank Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field, homes of the National Football League`s Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively.

Citi Plans to Roll out 2.5 Million PayPass Key Fobs for RFID Debit
(August 24, 2005) Citigroup Inc. plans to roll out 2.5 million key fobs for contactless debit card payment following a launch of the technology this fall in the New York area, the banking giant announced today. The so-called tap-and-go transaction devices will fit on consumer`s keychains, and will be based on MasterCard International`s PayPass radio-frequency-identification platform. The bank also said it will start a pilot of PayPass for its credit cards this fall, though it left unclear whether this pilot will also involve key fobs.

Citi`s PayPass launch represents the first major rollout of contactless payment technology on a form factor other than cards, and is also the second announced so far linked to debit cards. KeyBank earlier this month said it would begin issuing MasterCard debit cards equipped with PayPass technology in September. American Express Co. has experimented with keychain devices for its ExpressPay RFID platform, and MasterCard two years ago piloted PayPass-equipped cell phones in the Dallas market. But until Citi`s announcement all product launches by the major card networks, including AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa U.S.A., have involved embedding the chip-and-antenna inlay on which contactless technology depends in cards rather than other form factors.

The Citi-issued keyfobs are companions to the bank`s Citibank Banking card, which can function as a signature- or PIN-based debit card. Customers will receive the devices in the mail, along with a new card, as the program rolls out. To activate the devices, they can call a bank customer-service line or use the debit card at any ATM. Citi says transactions under $25 on the debit devices at certain outlets will not require a signature, a tack both MasterCard and Visa introduced earlier this year to encourage contactless usage at fast-food and other stores. The keyfob payments will also be eligible to earn points in Citi`s ThankYou network rewards program, though the bank is capping daily spending at $150, a move that should encourage usage on small-ticket purchases.

With contactless payment technology, customers wave or tap a transponder device—again, usually a card—on or near a transceiver linked to a point of sale device. By replacing conventional card swipes with radio signals, the technology speeds up tender times, making card payments more practical for high-throughput locations. AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa have agreed to adhere to the same international technology standard for contactless, which means readers can accept devices operating on any of the three platforms.

Major merchants sign on to accept PayPass
Thursday, September 1 2005
By Dee Ann Kuhn, Contributing Editor

This fall an even greater number of consumers will be able to tap and go with their PayPass cards thanks to an ongoing expansion of merchants signing on to implement the MasterCard-trademarked contactless card technology. Meijer Stores, a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based grocery store chain announced in August that it would be the first supermarket to offer PayPass at all of its 171 locations. Meijer’s plans follow Oakbrook, Ill.-based McDonald Corp.’s announcement that the fast-food giant plans to expand PayPass acceptance across all of its restaurants that accept credit cards here in the U.S. by year end.

Could it be that the revolutionary concept of cashless payment other than credit and debit card options is finally getting the attention it deserves following years of trials here and significant implementation overseas? Radio frequency identification-based payment, initially considered a fast and secure method suitable for fare-based applications, such as mass transit and parking venues, is now infiltrating all realms of service establishments, both here and abroad. Industry observers note that in today’s fast-paced society, the convenience, speed and security of contactless cards is catching on quicker than did the introduction of debit cards more than a decade ago. In fact, the whole personal identification number- (PIN) or signature-based debit concept still leads to confusion for many users.

“There’s definitely merchant willingness to support the technology,” says MasterCard’s T.J. Sharkey, Vice President of U.S. Acceptance/Business Development. “We’re having more merchants come to us than we are going out to them. If PayPass fits from a technical perspective (hardware and software), then it’s a go.”

Adapting an existing terminal with the PayPass technology, depending on the life cycle of the system, is easier than having to swap it out for a new solution, MasterCard’s Sharkey explains, adding that merchants are readily willing to do whatever it takes to support the technology.

According to Sharkey, five to seven terminal manufacturers have been approved to offer PayPass solutions, including Verifone and Hypercom, and MasterCard is working with other terminal vendors to be type-approved to carry PayPass. In addition, MasterCard is currently working with its current vendors to perfect a weather-resistant solution for stand-alone, drive-thru consumer access.

Supporting PayPass “is a decision we make in partnership with our McDonald franchisees,” says William Whitham, McDonald Corp. spokesman. “We need to ensure this is a value-added option not only for the franchises but also for the customers.”

Approximately 8,000 McDonald’s restaurants currently offer the PayPass option, including a few equipped to accept the cards at the drive-thru window. In all, some 12,000 of McDonald’s 13,700 U.S. restaurants accept some form of cashless payment.

“We’re moving aggressively to increase the number of restaurants to accept credit and debit cards, including PayPass,” Whitham says, adding that the chain probably won’t ever reach 100% card acceptance across its restaurants, but the vast majority of them will. And, at some point, McDonald’s plans to put advertising and marketing muscle behind the PayPass initiative to make consumers aware of the added convenience, he says.

Meanwhile, Meijer hopes to implement PayPass in all of its 171 store locations by mid-September as well as upgrade its on-site fuel pumps by early fall. Meijer also announced that it will equip its cobranded Meijer Platinum MasterCard with PayPass contactless functionality, allowing cardholders the benefits of rewards accrued through purchases made with PayPass as well as through traditional magnetic-stripe transactions.

MasterCard’s aggressive campaign to sign merchants doesn’t end with one leading retailer per category. Sharkey says MasterCard is in conversation with other leading quick-service restaurants and expects to include acceptance among other categories, citing bookstores, transit and parking among potential areas of interest. The driving force, Sharkey explains, is everyday purchases -- anywhere where the average ticket is $25 or under and where you can move through the lines quicker. “Our goal is not one merchant per category but anywhere consumers have an opportunity to use the card on a daily basis.”

Court reinstates OTI as e-passport RFID chip vendor

United States, Jan 03, 2006 (Newsbytes via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has reinstated On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) as a potential provider of contactless identification chips for the federal government`s electronic passport project, according to court officials and the company.

A court clerk said Judge Charles Lettow set aside the Government Printing Office`s decision to eliminate OTI from the competition to provide the radio frequency identification (RFID) devices that are to be embedded in U.S. passport covers.

The judge directed GPO to resume testing of OTI`s chips at the point where the agency halted the testing.

Oded Bashan, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of Fort Lee, N.J.-based OTI, said, "We are pleased with the judge`s decision. We are looking forward to continuing work with the government on this project." He added that OTI is ready to begin mass production of the RFID chips.

The claims court decision is the latest twist in the winding process of purchasing the RFID chips that will contain photographs of passport holders.

The process has been bent by objections from privacy advocates, who proved to the State Department that the original design was subject to potential eavesdropping.

The GPO, which produces the passports for State, had planned to issue a contract for the chips more than a year ago.

State and GPO are seeking more than one provider for the contactless chips, and are evaluating products from several RFID vendors.

The New Way to Pay: Coming Soon to a Store Near You: Contactless Payments
By Donald Davis

QUICK READ

Faster than anyone imagined, contactless payment is taking off in the United States, with major initiatives also rolling out in Asia and pilots planned for Europe. Vendors are racing to make the technology rollout-ready, while issuers and payment schemes ponder how to make tap-and-go payment attractive to consumers and merchants-at the same time as they try to head off potential competition from transit agencies and mobile telcos.

Would you enter a new racing car at the Monaco Grand Prix while still finalizing the engine design? You might, if that`s what it takes to keep up with the competition.

And that seems to be the course the world`s big payment card brands are taking when it comes to contactless payments. They have now all made big bets on the concept of tap-and-go payment cards and devices, even as they fine-tune the technology, hone their marketing messages, and seek to head off potential competition from mobile telecom companies and big-city transit operators.

MasterCard International, American Express and Japan`s JCB Co. Ltd. all pushed big stacks of chips into the contactless pot over the last two years, and Visa International and U.S.-based Discover anted up more recently. No one wants to miss out in case putting a contactless chip and antenna on a credit or debit card does indeed move that card to the top of a consumer`s wallet and helps convert small purchases from cash to card.

Many questions remain, from how to introduce tap-and-go payments to consumers to how to rework card-issuance equipment designed for flat cards to handle keyfobs, phones and other devices that could become contactless payment tokens.

But none of those questions has prevented contactless payment from taking off faster than anyone expected.

"The uptake from the merchant side is vastly beyond our expectations," says David Bonalle, vice president and general manager for advanced payments enterprise development at American Express, who says the number of merchants committed to accept AmEx`s ExpressPay contactless product already exceeds the company`s 10-year forecast.

Bonalle would not say how many merchants accept ExpressPay, which was added as a feature to the Blue credit card in the United States in June. But Art Kranzley, executive vice president of advanced payments at MasterCard, says there were 19,700 merchant locations in the U.S. accepting MasterCard`s PayPass contactless product late last month, and 3.5 million cards or keyfobs in circulation. He says both figures exceed MasterCard`s projection for the year of "a couple of million cards in market and 1,000 merchant locations."

As a result of this unexpected growth, analyst Erik Michielsen of U.S.-based ABI Research says his spring projection is already out of date. "Our forecast, built a few months back, underestimates the market, there`s been so much takeup," Michielsen says. "It`s explosive."

He says he wasn`t far off in his forecast that 12 million to 15 million contactless payment cards would be issued worldwide for general-purpose use. But he says the deployment of over 100,000 contactless-compatible terminals at retail locations surprised him-and bodes well for the backers of contactless payment. "It is a positive sign that the merchants are just as committed as the issuers," he says.

The growth getting the most attention has been in the United States. But there are also major initiatives in Asia, and Visa and MasterCard promise pilots in Europe, where banks and merchants have been focused on introducing smart cards and terminals compliant with EMV, the international standard for payment smart cards.

The rush to contactless payments in the United States contrasts with the utter lack of interest to date in that market for EMV. Whereas contact smart cards are mainly a tool to curb fraud, contactless promises the convenience of paying by just gently tapping a card on a reader. The reader powers up the cards with a steady stream of radio signals.

New York City-based JP Morgan Chase says it will issue 5 million contactless cards this year, 3 million in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area, and about 1 million each in Atlanta and Denver. All told, the number of contactless cards-or contactless keyfobs tied to checking accounts in the case of Citibank-is expected to approach 10 million by the end of 2005 in the United States, according to industry sources.

Chase, generally viewed as the U.S. leader among contactless issuers, calls its tap-and-go card "blink" and offers it with both the MasterCard and Visa brands. Chase is aggressively marketing blink, especially in the New York area, where ads encouraging consumers to "blink lunch" or "blink a movie" can be seen on billboards, in subway cars, and in major daily newspapers.

MasterCard also has been promoting PayPass heavily, especially in New York, where PayPass ads appear on the sides of buses, on billboards and in major daily newspapers. A television spot promoting the use of PayPass at McDonald`s restaurants is airing nationwide in prime time.

Tap And Drive

McDonald`s accounts for half of PayPass acceptance locations, with 10,000 of the chain`s 13,700 U.S. restaurants accepting the tap-and-go MasterCard product. McDonald`s initially only accepted PayPass. Sources say MasterCard subsidized McDonald`s terminal rollout, a claim that neither McDonald`s nor MasterCard would comment on.

At least some McDonald`s restaurants now accept American Express` ExpressPay, and both Visa and MasterCard officials agree that McDonald`s likely will be accepting all contactless brands some time in 2006.

All the major brands use the same basic technology on their cards, chips that conform to the major contactless standard known as ISO 14443, so any reader can technically read any of the major brands` cards. Except for McDonald`s, most of the U.S. merchants accepting contactless are taking all brands.

All told, there may be 150,000 contactless readers in place by the end of the year, estimates Mohammad Khan, president of U.S.-based Vivotech, one of the providers of contactless readers, along with such competitors as Israel-based On Track Innovations and Panasonic of Japan. Khan claims privately held Vivotech will supply 120,000 of the readers to U.S. merchants this year. He predicts some 30 major U.S. cities will have sizable contactless rollouts by late 2006.

All the players project big growth in contactless in the United States next year. Visa will have "millions of cards in the market this year, and tens of millions next year," says Niki Manby, vice president of market and product innovation at Visa USA. MasterCard`s Kranzley says his company is "bullish" on contactless, but cannot provide projections because MasterCard is about to go public and is restricted by U.S. securities law from making predictions about its business.

Discovering NFC

Adding to the momentum in the United States was the announcement last month by Discover Financial Services that it would test contactless payments via mobile phones. The cell phone, equipped with a contactless chip and antenna, would enable consumers to pay for purchases at retail locations with a wave of the handset, and also to check their account balances and transfer funds between accounts, using a personal identification number. "We are thinking of this more as a mobile ATM," says Rick Reese, vice president of enterprise architecture at Discover.

Reese says Discover, which until now had not offered a contactless product, is testing tap-and-go phones at its headquarters near Chicago and with a few merchants.

Reese says mobile network operators can download to a specially equipped handset a consumer`s account data, so that personalization of the phone as a payment device can be handled over the air. While Discover is aiming for a 2006 rollout, Reese says that could be delayed if handset manufacturers do not have compatible phones available, or if Discover is unable to make deals with mobile network operators to handle the financial transactions.

Discover will use technology called Near Field Communication incorporating contactless chips that can both send and receive data and power up most other contactless chips. That would enable, for instance, a consumer to download two movie tickets to his NFC-enabled phone, give one to his friend via her NFC handset. Then, both could wave the phones past readers to gain admission to the theater.

Vivotech is supplying the software that the issuer uses to provide payment data to the NFC chips on the phone and the software wallet on the phone itself, Khan says. There are expected to be about 18 such NFC pilots in the next year in the United States, Asia and Europe.

Pay By Phone

Mobile phone manufacturers are high on NFC, which they see as a way to make the cell phone the consumer`s primary tool for making payments as well as for communication. ABI`s Michielsen projects the number of NFC-enabled devices shipped will grow from 3.7 million units in 2006 to a whopping 671.9 million in 2010, with many of them being mobile phones. Yet, such big handset makers as Nokia haven`t talked much about rollout schedules for their NFC phones. Observers don`t expect significant shipments until 2007.

Visa and MasterCard are also backing NFC, hoping the payments consumers make by waving handsets will flow through their networks. But some mobile phone network operators may have different ideas.

Japan`s leading operator, NTT DoCoMo, has taken the bold step of becoming a credit card company itself. It sees the potential for growth in contactless payment and wants to reduce its dependence on stagnating revenue from voice and data traffic sent over its network.

By next fall, the operator plans to launch its own credit service on contactless "mobile-wallet" phones now carried by more than 7 million of its subscribers. The credit service will come under a new "iD" payment brand DoCoMo introduced this month for the wallet phones, and it has invited other Japanese credit card companies to download their applications. These contactless mobile credit "cards" would be accepted anywhere the "iD" logo is displayed, says DoCoMo.

DoCoMo would earn revenue from merchant transactions fees for its own credit service and by charging "brand" fees on each transaction from other credit companies using the iD platform.

But DoCoMo faces several obstacles-key among them: getting Japanese consumers to purchase with credit to begin with.

"In Japan, the rate of credit card usage is very low, 7% to 8%, compared to 20 to 25% (not counting debit cards) in the United States," says Carl Atsushi Hirano, head of i-mode alliances for DoCoMo. "DoCoMo wants to create a new market."

Not surprisingly, other credit card companies aren`t too happy that DoCoMo is invading their turf. So far, only Sumitomo Mitsui Card Co., Japan`s No. 2 credit card issuer, has agreed to participate in "iD." That`s the same company DoCoMo invested nearly $1 billion in last spring in order to gain a foothold in the credit market.

JCB, Japan`s largest credit card company, has formed what looks to be a rival mobile payment alliance that includes DoCoMo`s chief competitor, mobile operator KDDI. And there is yet a third contactless mobile payment platform in Japan, and, at this point, none would be interoperable with the others.

Further muddying the waters, the company that runs the 11,000 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan plans to offer its own contactless payment cards. Seven & I Holdings Co. says it plans to expand acceptance to all of its more than 12,000 stores and restaurants, which it claims serve 13 million consumers a day. The company says it expects to issue 10 million cards the first year, and has announced an "operational tie-up" with JCB.

Confusion Ahead?

This sets the stage for confusion among consumers on where they can pay with their handsets and contactless cards. That`s the same problem that helped wreck a major mobile credit project in South Korea a few years ago.

The project relied on infrared, not radio waves, to beam transaction data, but was not interoperable among the three telcos. Now the telcos, led by SK Telecom, are planning to relaunch the service with contactless technology. SKT and the others would reuse the hundreds of thousands of readers they earlier installed at restaurants, department stores and other merchant outlets. Besides infrared receivers, these readers, as well as millions of specially equipped handsets in circulation, also incorporated contactless antennas. The telcos are talking with credit cards issuers and with MasterCard to move the project to PayPass, sources say. Visa says it is working with an unnamed South Korean retailer on a rollout of 50,000 cobranded contactless cards.

Neither the Japanese nor Korean telcos use NFC phones, but in Europe, NFC or similar technology will likely be the contactless handset of choice, says Bruno Prexl, m-payment marketing and contactless project manager for Bouygues Telecom, a French mobile network operator. He predicts all handsets shipped by manufacturers will come equipped with contactless chips starting in late 2008 or 2009.

He believes consumers will continue to use cards for debit or credit purchases for some time, except for low-value purchases that don`t require a PIN entry or signature. "You swipe, you enter your PIN, what would you do better than with the card," he says. "We believe the first step for (mobile contactless) payment should be on (vending) machines."

Transit operators also could be competitors to the banks and their major payment brands. Octopus Cards Ltd., whose card is carried by nearly every Hong Kong resident for use on buses, trains, trams and ferries, is the prime example of a transit company that has extended use of its own card to some 3,000 retail locations. Only about 14% of Octopus transactions are outside of mass transit, however, despite years of promotion. But consumers` familiarity with Octopus could make it harder to introduce new bank-issued contactless payment devices in Hong Kong.

London`s Choice

The operator of the contactless Oyster transit card used by more than 2 million London commuters could provide a telling indication of whether transit operators will compete or cooperate with banks. Transys, the company that operates the Oyster card system, wants to extend its use to retailers around London, and is considering bids from companies seeking to manage the nontransit payment scheme.

London could follow the Hong Kong model and try to sign up merchants to take the Oyster card, which would likely require a limited banking license. But Colin Tanner of UK-based Consult Hyperion thinks the transit operator is more likely to work with a UK bank and a major payment brand like Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

Tanner reasons the transit operator wants consumers to carry a contactless card with Oyster value on it, whether or not they ride the Underground or the bus, so that the transit system can scrap its breakdown-prone readers for magnetic stripe cards. If many consumers, even those who only use mass transit now and then, already had a contactless card in their wallet, the transit agency would be under less pressure to issue mag-stripe cards for occasional riders. Working with an established card system would make sure there are many retail locations where commuters could top up their contactless cards, a prerequisite for requiring all travelers to have a tap-and-go card, Tanner says.

Many issues remain, including how much merchants would pay to accept Oyster cards, and how those fees might be divided between the transit agency and the bank that facilitates those payments.

Work In Progress

There are also important issues regarding contactless technology and standards.

For instance, Visa and MasterCard have slightly different contactless specs, which will have to be harmonized if issuers are to be able to issue both brands without duplicating their back-end systems.

Visa`s specification, unveiled last month, offers issuers three options. One is to transmit through the contactless interface essentially the same data sent in a magnetic stripe transaction, the variant being used in the U.S. market; the second is a contactless version of full EMV; and a third, called qVSDC, eliminates some of the EMV data exchanges in order to speed up the transaction. MasterCard only offers the magnetic stripe and full EMV options.

Stephanie Ericksen, vice president of product technology integration at Visa International, says she expects most countries that are moving to EMV to adopt the qVSDC variant as they introduce contactless payment. Even qVSDC, Visa officials say, takes just over half a second-which is still more than the under-300-millisecond requirement of many transit operators. Full EMV, they say, would require the cardholder to hold the card near the reader for too long a time.

But MasterCard`s Kranzley says those contactless PayPass transactions using the EMV variant are taking only 600 to 700 milliseconds in Taiwan, and he says that is fast enough even for consumers paying transit fares.

And it will get faster, he says. "We think as this rolls out that will get down under half a second."

The differences between Visa and MasterCard will have to be worked out if EMVCo, the company owned by Visa, MasterCard and JCB that manages the EMV specification, is to come up with a common contactless standard.

"The market wants one," says Kranzley, who says EMVCo will begin work on a common approach to contactless payments next year.

Despite that one difference, both MasterCard and Visa envision issuers in markets that are converting to EMV-compliant contact smart cards will add contactless as a feature geared for making small payments. Both schemes expect issuers will introduce dual-interface cards, such as those being issued in Taiwan, with consumers inserting the card and entering a PIN for larger transactions and tapping the card on a reader for small purchases.

In Taiwan, issuers set parameters on the chip limiting the number or value of contactless transactions permitted before a card must go online for an authorization, or be inserted into an ATM or payment terminal for a PIN-authorized transaction. That limits the potential loss if a card is lost or stolen, but would rarely interfere with a contactless transaction, particularly as those limits are reset each day, Kranzley says. Visa has a similar view of how its contactless cards will work in markets, such as Europe, where the move to EMV is well underway.

Guido Mangiagalli, who is responsible for consumer market development and new channels for Visa Europe, last month told a news conference at the Cartes smart card show in Paris that Visa Europe will not require the consumer to enter a PIN on contactless payments below 15 euros to encourage cardholders to pay with a tap at locations where speed is important, such as fast food restaurants and convenience stores.

The chip on the card will keep track of the amount charged and the terminal will require an online authorization from the issuing bank when the consumer has charged 50 euros without entering a PIN. Mangiagalli notes the counter on the chip will reset each time a PIN is entered. And since a PIN will be required for every ATM withdrawal and all purchases above 15 euros, he says, "it should be very unlucky if you want to buy coffee and have to enter a PIN, but it could happen."

Visa expects at least one UK bank will test Visa`s contactless system in mid-2006, with rollouts on the Continent likely a year later, Mangiagalli says. MasterCard PayPass will be tested in Europe in 2006 and 2007, says Bruno Carpreau, an assistant vice president in MasterCard`s Brussels-based smart card center.

Another area of agreement among the payment schemes is that contactless could help convince consumers to use cards for the many small purchases they now mostly make with cash. In the United States, half of the 138 billion consumer transactions per year are under $10, 96% of them cash payments, says U.S. consulting firm Aite Group LLC. In Europe, cash accounts for 85% of the 446 billion consumer transactions per year, says Visa Europe. And many are small purchases, with 20.7 billion of 27.2 billion UK cash transactions under ?10 (US$17.10), Visa says.

In order not to confuse consumers as they introduce this new wireless way to pay, MasterCard, Visa and American Express have recently agreed on a common symbol to place on payment terminals so that consumers can know where they can pay with contactless cards or other products, such as keyfobs.

The symbol shows a hand holding something square, but it is not shaped exactly like a card. That was intended to leave the door open for issuers to add their contactless chips to all sorts of devices, such as keyfob, a watch, a mobile phone or an iPod music player. In fact, Citibank, one of the top U.S. issuers and one of the few U.S. banks to handle much of its own technology development, has announced plans to introduce this year a contactless keyfob that consumers can use like their debit card.

New Equipment

But issuers that want to follow suit may have to pay for customized equipment. That is because systems for personalizing and issuing payment cards are designed for flat plastic cards of a standard size that are typically attached to a paper holder, folded, slipped into an envelope, and mailed.

"When the form factor is no longer a flat plastic card and doesn`t want to get attached to a flat piece of paper and doesn`t want to be folded up, it creates a challenge," says Bob Beer, director of smart card platform marketing at Datacard Group, a U.S. maker of card-personalization equipment.

Citibank, which is the lone U.S. issuer offering contactless PayPass keyfobs as a companion to a customer`s debit card, is using a manual process to personalize the fobs for now, says Wayne Malone, senior vice president of transaction innovation. But he says he expects to have automated equipment for that purpose by the time Citibank starts issuing large numbers of fobs in mid-2006. He says Citi has issued 20,000 fobs this fall to customers who are active users of their debit cards in the New York area, plans to step that up around February, and will start mass issuance by summer.

Other issues have emerged as contactless cards have gone from concept to rollout. The antenna embedded within the plastic layers of the card was initially expected to run around the border of the entire card. But when banks starting issuing MasterCard PayPass cards they found that such an antenna might be broken when the bottom half of the card is embossed.

Instead, issuers placed the antenna just on the top half of the card, making it smaller but less able to pick up a radio signal from a distance. Instead of the card being read within 4 centimeters (about 1.5 inches) of a reader, as MasterCard intended, the cards only work within 2 centimeters. That means the reader and card start communicating a fraction of a second later-the time it takes the card to go from 4 to 2 centimeters away from the source of the radio signals-and thus a consumer is more likely to withdraw the card before the transaction is complete. The threat of a "torn" transaction is even higher for a contactless EMV transaction, in which card data is updated, something that does not occur in U.S. implementations, says Tanner of Consult Hyperion.

Vendors are working to bridge the gap. France-based Inside Contactless said last month it would offer Visa members a new contactless chip optimized for the U.S. version of contactless payments. Inside says its chip is smaller and, even with an antenna covering half of a card, can be read from 4 centimeters away. Smartrac Technology Ltd. supplies the antennas, and card manufacturers Giesecke & Devrient of Germany and U.S.-based CPI Card Group are involved in supplying the contactless card to Visa members.

Kranzley says Inside has submitted its chip to MasterCard for certification, and the chip should soon be available to MasterCard issuers, as well.

Meanwhile, U.S.-based Atmel, which has been supplying chips for MasterCard issuers as has Switzerland-based STMicroelectronics, says it will have a new chip available in early 2006 that can be read from longer distances.

Other vendors on the show floor at Cartes last month were touting their contactless-friendly products. For instance, U.S.-based Freeman, a maker of card-manufacturing equipment, says its new laminating press features a cushioning system that can be adjusted to treat contactless cards gently-thus preventing antenna breakage when card layers are pressed together.

More technology innovations are sure to come. The challenge for these big payments players will be to make sure the technology works easily once consumers are persuaded to try it, and that enough merchants accept tap-and-go cards that it seems worth the trouble. Only then are the payment schemes-and the banks and merchants they serve-likely to see the payoff from their bets on contactless payments. (c) 2005 Card Technology and SourceMedia, Inc.

Erste Uhr als kontaktloses Zahlungsmittel mit MasterCard PayPass
LAKS 2|6|2006

LAKS, der österreichische Uhrenentwickler, der bereits in der Vergangenheit mit Uhreninnovationen für Aufsehen sorgte, hat nun einen weltweiten Durchbruch im bargeldlosen Zahlungsverkehr geschafft. Seine neueste Entwicklung, die LAKS SmartTransaction Watch(TM), ist die erste Uhr mit bargeldloser Zahlungsfunktion.

MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) ist eine komfortable Alternative zu Bargeld. Kleinere Beträge im täglichen Leben werden somit schnell, sicher und bequem bezahlt. Kein lästiges Herumsuchen nach Münzen oder Karten, einfach das PayPass(TM) Lesegerät mit dem PayPass(TM) Zahlungsmittel berühren und fertig.

Für Lucas Scheybal, LAKS Geschäftsführer, liegt die Herausforderung stets darin, weltweit Trends rechtzeitig zu erkennen und sie in ein Lifestyle Accessoire zu integrieren: "Mit der Entwicklung einer Uhr die als bargeldloses Zahlungsmittel eingesetzt werden kann, ist es LAKS einmal mehr gelungen der Zeit einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Die Herausforderung bei diesem Produkt war es, hochsensible Sicherheitsanforderungen in eine analoge Uhr zu integrieren. Die Zertifizierung durch MasterCard(R) ist der Start für unsere Uhren auf einem der spannendsten Märkte der Zukunft."

Im Auftrag der Chinatrust Commercial Bank, einer der größten taiwanesischen Banken, hat LAKS das "erste bargeldlose Zahlungsmittel am Handgelenk" produziert, das rechtzeitig zum Beginn der Fußball WM zum Einsatz kommt. Dementsprechend wurde auch das Design in den WM Farben orange, blau und grün gewählt.

Den technologischen Support lieferte On Track Innovations Ltd (OTI), ein weltweit führender Hersteller von kontaktlosen mikroprozessorbasierten Smart-Card Technologien und ATMEL, ein weltweit führenden Halbleiter-Hersteller

On Track Innovations Getting On Track
Posted on Aug 9th with stocks: OTIV

Let’s look at OTI - On Track Innovations Ltd. (Nasdaq: OTIV) of Rosh Pina in northern Israel, as a company that is on the right track. Such a company needs help from an investment bank, one that knows the smart card market well and, obviously, all the related markets. However, management must choose an investment bank that understands the task, to help companies like OTI continue growing, rather than one which thinks its primary purpose is find a deal and make a bargain.

Frost & Sullivan, a global leader in business research and consulting, and the leading company in consulting and strategic planning for smart card companies, has chosen OTI as company of the year for the second year in a row. Frost & Sullivan notes the Israeli company’s progress in fields such as wireless-based payment systems, web-based passport issuance and security identification. It defines these as growth areas and OTI as the company leading the growth in them. The company was founded by chairman, president and CEO Oded Bashan in 1990 to provide solutions for smart card applications, a field which everyone agrees is one of the hottest around, even more so in the current era of terrorism and potential theft of classified material.

Despite winning this award, OTI suddenly fell last week, after it was revealed that it failed to win an US government tender for electronic passport production. Apparently the company had already been disqualified once from the tender but managed to convince the US Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. that it had not been disqualified on financial or technological grounds, following which the court duly ordered it to be reinstated in the tender by the US Government Printing Office [GPO]. On Track now says it will take its case back to court since its technology is far superior, so it claims, to that of its competitors. It will seek an order forcing the GPO to reinstate it once more.

Of course, I don’t know whether or not OTI’s technology is better than that of its competitors, but it no doubt has the required technology, since to be selected by Frost & Sullivan as company of the year is no trivial matter. What’s more, most of the companies that bid in the GPO tender and made it to the next stage were also covered by Frost & Sullivan’s research and consulting specialists.

OTI is a relatively small company in a field that is showing an impressively fast rate of growth. In the three years from 2003-2005 it increased its sales from $19 million to more than $35 million, while posting losses of more than $9 million for the second consecutive year. The company’s stock has fallen from $11 in February to less than $9, and has now rallied to $9.50.

Meanwhile, everyone is absorbed with speculation about which company will be next in line to be acquired by one foreign giant or another. Given the potential growth in smart card technologies, OTI is definitely an interesting acquisition target. Of course such a deal would not be on the scale of that of Mercury Interactive Corp. (MERQ), or a possible sale of Comverse Technology Ltd. (Nasdaq: CMVT), for which many learned commentators have already closed a deal unbeknownst to the company’s management.

The battle between leading smart card makers, most of which are European or Asian companies, is fought over the same market segments that OTI is active in. The company apparently has the last word in smart-card technologies, and the only reason that I think it hasn’t been acquired yet is that it’s too small to attract their attention, or maybe because it’s an Israeli company.

Why is OTI’s share falling? There are several reasons. One is related to the smart-card industry as a whole, which has not had a good time on the world’s bourses lately. Dutch-Luxembourg company Gemalto NV, which makes smart-cards and markets them worldwide, for example, has fallen 23% since June. Another reason for OTI’s decline could be its ongoing losses, including in the previous quarter. Although the company’s sales are growing rapidly, its losses are not shrinking; they’re actually increasing. I believe that this is a transition period for the company, and we’ll soon see both sales growth and a switch to profits.

Gamalto, by the way, is the company that beat OTI in the GPO tender. It was created through the merger of Luxembourg Gemplus International SA (GEMP), founded in 1988, and Dutch Axalto NV, founded in 1979.

It is interesting that smart cards first caught on in Europe, rather than the US. According to Frost & Sullivan, the smart card market will grow 22% a year in the financial sector (mostly credit cards), and 40% in the security and identity authentication sector, mostly because of demand by national security agencies. Frost & Sullivan is a strategic consultant for both companies. The fact that it twice picked OTI as the Company of the Year raises a number of possibilities about it. If the company’s technology is really of such great quality, its large competitors obviously know this, and we’ll see how this story turns out.

Citigroup analyst Lyonel Francoy, who covers the smart-card industry, believes that Gemalto will grow 11% this in the financial sector and 31% in the security sector. He does not think that the market properly understood the Gemplus-Axalto merger or the value of Gemalto’s share. The analysts’ consensus is that the company will post earnings per share of $1.72 in 2007, and is traded at a p/e ratio of 14 for 2007.

The second largest company in the smart card industry is Oberthur Card System of France, which had $600 million in sales in 2005, compared with Gemalto’s $2.2 billion. The analyst claims that the European merger will initiate a campaign of mergers and acquisitions in the smart-card industry similar to the trend in many technology sectors. The leading companies in the smart card sector after Gemalto and Oberthur are Japan’s Hitachi (NYSE: HIT), Germany’s Infineon Technologies (NYSE: IFX), Dutch Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG), Japan’s NEC Corporation (Nasdaq: NIPNY) and NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM), Swiss STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), and France’s Thales. Gemalto and Oberthur’s comes entirely from smart cards, but smart cards comprise only a small part of the other companies’ operations.

Another interesting point about this industry is that, in the US, the smart card companies are IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) and Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN), and the industry’s latest worry is that Chinese manufacturers are starting to try to take it over.

OTI was founded by Bashan and VP products Ronnie Gilboa who came from Electro Galil. 16 years later, on the basis of Frost & Sullivan’s analysis, OTI is definitely on track.

AP
U.S. to Roll Out Electronic Passports
Friday August 11, 5:27 pm ET
By Dan Caterinicchia, AP Business Writer
U.S. Agency Plans to Begin Issuing Smart Chip-Embedded Passports to American Citizens


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite ongoing privacy concerns and legal disputes involving companies bidding on the project, the U.S. State Department plans to begin issuing smart chip-embedded passports to Americans as planned Monday.

Not even the foiled terror plot that heightened security checks at airports nationwide threatens to delay the rollout, the agency said. Any hitches in getting the technology to work properly could add even longer waits to travelers already facing lengthy security lines at airports.

The new U.S. passports will include a chip that contains all the data contained in the paper version -- name, birthdate, gender, for example -- and can be read by electronic scanners at equipped airports. The State Department says they will speed up going through customs and help enhance border security.

Privacy groups continue to raise concerns about the security of the electronic information and a German computer security expert earlier this month demonstrated in Las Vegas how personal information stored on the documents could be copied and transferred to another device.

But electronic cloning does not constitute a threat because the information on the chips, including the photograph, is encrypted and cannot be changed, according to the Smart Card Alliance, a New Jersey-based not-for-profit made up of government agencies and industry players.

"It's no different than someone stealing your passport and trying to use it," Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the alliance, said in a statement. "No one else can use it because your photo is on the chip and they're not you."

Yet the ability to clone the information on the chips may not be the sole threat, privacy advocates argue. A major concern is that hackers could pick up the electronic signal when the passport is being scanned, said Sherwin Siy, staff counsel at the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, a leading privacy group.

"Many of the advantages the industry is touting are eliminated by security concerns," Siy said.

After testing the passports in a pilot project over the past year, the government insists they're safe.

Numerous companies competed the last two years to provide the technology. One winner was San Jose-based Infineon Technologies North America Corp., a subsidiary of Germany's Infineon AG. Another was French firm Gemalto, which earlier this month announced that it had received its first production order from the Government Printing Office. It is producing the passports for the State Department, using the Infineon technology.

Another company, On Track Innovations Ltd., was notified July 31 that it had been eliminated from consideration and is appealing the decision, a spokeswoman for the Fort Lee, N.J. company said this week. On Track previously had been eliminated but appealed that decision in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., which found in favor of the company and ordered it be reinstated.

Infineon has been approved for production-quantity orders but hasn't received any because of the unresolved legal dispute, said Veronica Meter, a spokeswoman for the Government Printing Office. The rollout that begins Monday will use technology built up during the pilot project.

Neville Pattinson, director of technology and government affairs for Gemalto in Austin, Texas, would not discuss financial terms of the contract. He acknowledged the economic potential is massive, noting that the State Department issued 10 million passports in 2005 and expects that to increase to 13 million this year.

Citizens who get new passports can expect to pay a lot more. New ones issued under this program will cost $97, which includes a $12 security surcharge added last year. Not all new passports will contain the technology until it's fully rolled out -- a process expected to take a year. Existing passports without the electronic chips will remain valid until their normal expiration date.

Bezahlen im Vorbeigehen
Das "Plastikgeld" bekommt neue Funktionen. Ab 2007 soll "kontaktloses Bezahlen" in Österreich möglich sein, verspricht MasterCard.
Alle heimischen Bankomatkarten sind bereits "jugendschutztauglich": Ab 2007 können nur Inhaber ab 16 Jahren an Zigarettenautomaten ihre Glimmstängel kaufen.

Infografik
Wofür wir unser Geld ausgeben
Der seit Mai in New York börsenotierte Kartenanbieter MasterCard, in Österreich vertreten durch Europay Austria, plant die Einführung weiterer Funktionen für "Plastikgeld". So soll in absehbarer Zeit "kontaktloses Bezahlen" über "PayPass" auch in Österreich möglich sein, noch vor Weihnachten sollen mit variablen Beträgen aufgeladene "Geschenkkarten" auch hierzulande angeboten werden. Bereits heute sind alle heimischen Bankomatkarten "jugendschutztauglich": Ab 1. Jänner 2007 können nur Inhaber ab 16 Jahren an Zigarettenautomaten ihre Glimmstängel kaufen.

Die türkische Garanti-Bank hat bereits im Sommer das "PayPass"-System eingeführt, das "Bezahlen im Vorbeigehen" ermöglicht. Der Zahlungsvorgang erfolgt, wenn ein Chip an einem entsprechenden Lesegerät an der Verkaufsstelle vorbeigeführt wird. Die Garanti Bank hat bisher 25.000 "Tap&Go"-Karten mit der PayPass-Technologie von MasterCard ausgegeben. Zu den ersten Akzeptanzstellen in der Türkei gehören die Fastfood-Kette Burger King, Starbucks und die Kinokette CineBonus.

Killer-Applikation
"PayPass" könnte zu einer echten "Killer-Applikation" werden, erklärten die Europay Austria-Geschäftsführer Ewald Judt und Peter Neubauer bei einer Informationsveranstaltung. "Damit bewegen wir uns auf einem neuen Gebiet", so Neubauer. Voraussichtlich im nächsten Jahr soll dieses System auch in Österreich versuchsweise eingeführt werden. Derzeit verhandle man noch mit möglichen Partnern.

Chip in Uhr
Der österreichische Uhrenhersteller Laks bietet solche Chips auch in einer eigenen Uhr an. Die "Laks SmartTransaction Watch" ermöglicht die kontaktlose Abbuchung kleinerer Geldbeträge durch Vorbeiführen an einem eigenen Lesegerät, dem so genannten "PayPass".

Jugendschutz
Bereits abgeschlossen ist die Aufbringung einer Information über das Alter auf sämtlichen in Österreich ausgegebenen 6,8 Millionen Maestrokarten (Bankomat). Diese Maßnahme soll dem Jugendschutz dienen. Zigarettenautomaten in Österreich und Deutschland werden so umgerüstet, dass sie ab Anfang 2007 Zigaretten nur nach Eingabe einer Bankomatkarte ausgeben - an Personen, die mindestens 16 Jahre alt sind.

[bl21]

Sorry wenn ich so blöd daher-frage aber ich habe aktuell ein wenig den Überblick über die Gesamt-zahl der oti-Aktien verloren.Wieviele gibt es nochmal insgesamt?

[Warren Bluffet]

Wenn ich richtig liege ist die aktuelle Zahl:
15.097.867 Stück

Dazu dann gleich ein weiterer Service:
MK somit mit Kurs von heute (5,36 EURO) = 80.9 MIO Euro

In Dollar also eine MK von über 100 Mio USD, was deswegen interessant ist, da das die kritische Menge, damit sie überhaupt auffällt für Fonds und Analysten.

Diese sind z.Zt. ziemlich bullish, was die Aussichten angeht, siehe Dutton Associates, letzte Analyse vom 27.06.2006 zusammen mit aktuellem Update vom 21.12.2006.
Sie haben ein 12-Monatziel von USD 12,00 herausgegeben auf akueller Basis und dies noch als konversativ bezeichnet.
Urteil: Stong Buy!

Hat jemand Zugang zu anderen aktuellen Analysen, die er hier linken kann?
