AmEx and HP Join M-Commerce Alliance
Reuters reports that American Express and computer technology group Hewlett-Packard have joined the Mobey Forum, a consortium of banks and cellphone makers which intend to set global rules for mobile commerce. American Express said it wanted ``to influence the future direction of the wireless industry at a local and international level.'' The Mobey Forum was set up by 10 leading European banks and the continent's largest mobile phone makers, and has since been backed by a host of other European banks and international technology service providers. This is a very important development for the future of m-commerce. Submitted for your mark of the beast files.
