The Return Of Smartcards
from the haven't-we-heard-this-all-before? dept
Every few months over the past however many years someone comes out with a story suggesting that smart cards are the next big thing in the US. Then, a few months later, there aren't any smart cards and everyone forgets the whole thing. Well, here's the latest article telling us that smart cards are in our future. One of these days someone might actually be right, but I won't believe it until I see lots of people using them.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
