:: First Look :: Cellonet Vs.
Cellenium :: Part 2 ::
So what did Herbert George Wells knew
about payment systems when he wrote The War of the
Worlds?
Do you remember who won the war?
Bacteria did. An unaccounted for,
invisible, insignificant force, winning the technical
war with the Martians. It just killed them all after
they killed almost all humans alive.
Cellonet, Cellenium, and all the rest out
there hoping to win the Payment System War, think they
fight each other. But, they are facing an unaccounted
for enemy. A deadly force. A low-tech force that will
beat them all.
Think of a randomly selected Wadi
employee.
When she drives her leased car into the
Gas station she will not pay with cash nor will she pay
with a credit card, she will pay with something we
usually call "Dalkan". An automatic payment
system already built into her car. When she has to enter
the parking she will not pay with cash either. She
wouldn't even stop. The parking will just open when a
low cost Radio Card in her car announces her
approach.
This is not the future. This is how things
work today. And it is tough to see why we should replace
those things with complex cellular systems. In a way
Bacteria has already won the war.
Commercial wisdom can sure be found in
strange places.
