Simpay To Let Cell Users Pay For Products
The effort by a number of European carriers to build a single system for mobile payments, the Mobile Payments Services Association (MPSA), has decided that MPSA doesn't have much of a ring to it, so they're unveiling the new corporate branding, calling the company Simpay, with the slogan: "pay for stuff with your mobile." So creative. The idea is to build something of a clearinghouse for smaller mobile transactions (under the $10 mark). They're, of course, hoping to turn it into a standard system that every carrier uses.
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.
