[Dave Birch] The chap who runs Philips Semiconductors, Frans van Houten, recently said that half of all new mobile handsets will come with NFC by 2010. Good news for Philips, who make the NFC chips. Then he sold just over 80% of the company to a consortium led by U.S.-based Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company who, if I remember correctly (and a quick google reveals that I did), were the eponymous “Barbarians at the Gate”. So how are contactless and NFC looking?
