The mobile operator MTS Moscow Metro today announced a new (for us new) way fare on the subway – using a mobile phone using the technology of NFC (Near Field Communication) – the same one which from 2011 will be embedded in all smartphones Nokia.

As long as the ability to interact with NFC-equipped turnstiles, to put it mildly, not all mobile phones, the draft suggests that those who wish to pass into the womb of the Moscow metro, touching the yellow circle on the turnstile phone, rather than a card with a magnetic stripe, have several fooled.

Since the commercial launch of the project (according to the plans – in the fourth quarter of 2010) in subway stations will operate a special point, where the MTS will be able to buy an internal antenna for your cell phone and set up the apparatus to be able to pay for travel on the subway. Ibid have yet to replace the SIM-card MTS to the new separate application that allows to use the service pay for travel with a mobile account (or buy a new SIM-card),. After installing the SIM-card in the phone menu will be a new section, where the subscriber can select and pay him the necessary amount of travel (this one point is not entirely clear – just attach the phone, apparently, not enough, you must first take care to purchase “tickets”, what would it “stored”?).

It sounds though and innovation, but a little slozhnovato … However, if the action of these things will continue to avoid queuing for tickets for travel, it is worth it.
