Orange France begins nationwide NFC SIM rollout in the name of 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité'

Orange France begins nationwide NFC SIM rollout in the name of 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité'

NFC's potential uses are numerous - contactless mobile payments, automated actions and content sharing to name a few - but aside from its scattered inclusion in a limited number of handsets in the US and overseas, we've yet to see it truly take off. Cue Orange France. The wireless carrier's taking a non-traditional route to spur adoption by sidestepping manufacturers and bringing the near field communication tech to all 27 million of its subscribers directly. To do this, the operator's implementing Gemalto's UpTeq SIM, a secure NFC solution the company claims is on par with existing chip-based implementations.
