I would not put all the blame on the failure of contactless previously solely on the media.

While my industry relies heavily on the continued implementation of these technologies now, I personally did not embrace it-to the extent of using an RFID wallet.

While there have been great strides made in the security and implementation of EMV, NFC and such, I believe it may be a tough sell to the general public.

Conflicting opinions on timelines and methods still exist-as evidenced in SLC this week.
