:: First Look :: Cellonet Vs. Cellenium :: Part 1 ::

In 1898 Herbert George Wells wrote a great science fiction book - The War of the Worlds. And in doing so he gave us an insight into the future of Cellular Payment systems.

In Hollywood movies the whole idea is to have a good fight and then to have a winner. We tend to think of commercial competition the same way. Microsoft won the Operating System War, then it won the Browser war. Netscape lost the Browser War, then it lost the Portal War. We have a fight, we have a winner.

Cellonet and Cellenium are both Wadi companies offering Cellular Payment systems. Obviously they are not alone. Many others fight to win the Payment System War.

The whole idea is to turn the cellular phone into a secured wallet, enabling instant and simple payment for anything from Parking and Gas to Coke and Plane Tickets. You will never have to bother yourself with opening your leather wallet again.

Those systems are not trivial, and the war is not simple. You need some real server programming, some real security and a lot of business development. Then you have to fight for market share. It is a bloody war, and when it ends we will have a winner.

Right?

Maybe. Maybe not.

The ancient Englishman was smarter than that. He knew better. He really understood the market.

Stay tuned.
