The First Battle In The Mobile Payments War Is Over fifianahutapea.blogspot.com
While the war to control mobile payments has been broadly covered over the last several years, it seems that the tactical warfare that has been at play is less understood by most observers. It’s been a tale of conflict, closed door bargaining, and one with a David vs Goliath subplot and huge fortunes at stake. Many watched and waited as PayPal and Google battled the oligopoly of the… Read More

Labs And Incubators Fuel Enterprise Innovation fifianahutapea.blogspot.com
