NTT DoCoMo、KDDI公司和軟銀已經成立了”日本移動式NFC聯盟”，這將有助於這三大營運商協調並採取國際NFC標準。

目前這三家電信商提供了稱為”Osaifu-Keitai”(手機錢包)的NFC服務，採用了稱之為”FeliCa”的非接觸式IC智慧卡。不幸的是，此項技術並沒有辦法在採用標準Type A或是Type B NFC標準的海外營運商及區域使用。這意味著當這三家電信商使用者需要在國外付費的時候，Osaifu-Keitai將沒辦法在國外正常的運作。三家營運商希望能與手機的製造商們共同鼓勵使用Type A、Type B NFC標準。該聯盟更有著”提供日本其他服務商高效、廉價，並由三大營運商共同認可的共通標準與規範之NFC服務”。

DOCOMO, KDDI and SOFTBANK Establish Consortium to Promote NFC Services Compatible with Multiple International Standards Partnerships

TOKYO, JAPAN, December 21, 2011 — NTT DOCOMO, INC., KDDI CORPORATION and SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. announced today their establishment of Japan Mobile NFC Consortium to coordinate the adoption of multiple international standards for near field communication (NFC) technologies incorporated in their mobile devices and services.

Japan’s three mobile operators already offer Osaifu- Keitai™ (wallet phone) mobile services based on the contactless-IC smartcard called FeliCa®. Overseas, however, mobile operators and service providers are increasingly adopting Type A and Type B standards to develop growing markets for NFC services. In view of this worldwide trend, the consortium intends to work with mobile industry groups in Japan, including service suppliers and handset manufacturers, to incorporate compatibility with the Type A and B standards in the Japanese mobile ecosystem.

By ensuring compatibility with multiple NFC standards, the consortium aims to:

- Free mobile users in Japan, both residents and international travelers, from having to concern themselves about different NFC service standards.

- Create an environment in Japan where service providers can offer efficient, low-cost NFC services based on common standards and rules adopted by the three mobile operators.
