| Event Name: | NFC Applications: Adoption Outlook | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | The market for NFC solutions is evolving in a way that is very different than from what most recent media coverage implies. Vendors that buy into this portrayal and plan their business around this information risk strategic missteps and may fail to capitalize on real present-day NFC opportunities. During this QuickCast, VDC's John Shuster discusses the recent hype around NFC and the implications that coverage has for suppliers based on VDC's recent findings, which suggest the excitement around NFC may be premature. | |

| Event Name: | NFC & the Consumer: How & Why it's Used | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | While consumer adoption of NFC remains relatively limited on a global scale, what is promising is that those who are using the technology want to keep using it, and for broader application sets. If NFC is to fulfill the significant market potential it has, stakeholders beyond the consumer population—including suppliers, developers and B2C enterprises must nurture the interest consumers have demonstrated in the technology so far. During this QuickCast, VDC's John Shuster provides some food for thought for those in the supplier, developer and B2C communities in regards to fostering growth in consumer-level NFC adoption and discuss some of the major findings from VDC’s recent survey of consumer end users of NFC. | |
