  2. INTEROPERABILITY BASICS____________________________________________________ • What is INTEROP? • Why is INTEROP important? • Is INTEROP desirable? • Consumers perspective • Public policy perspective • Industry perspective • What is the optimal degree of INTEROP?

  3. How is INTEROP attained?_______________________________________________________________ • “Who” is central to the question of “How” • Private actors through market forces: • Unilateral actions: interop by design (e.g. Google maps), Vertical interop (Lync-Skype); de facto standards (e.g. Windows) • Industry coordination (consortia, JVs, SSOs), • Public actors: • Direct public regulation (e.g. mandatory interconnection in telecomm) • Other sorts of public intervention (e.g. competition law enforcement) • Public encouragement (e.g. SEPA)

  4. The current landscape for payments________________________________________________________________ • Credittransfers and directdebitstandardisedthroughSEPA • Cardpayments: • Green paperidentified 3 standard-relatedissues: A2I domain; T2A domain; Certificationstandards. • SEPA cardframework • E-payments • Rely on internet as commonplatform so standards are less on anissue. Interopissuesarise in processingphase (same as regular cardsorbanktransfers) • EPC interoperabilityframework – EU Commissioninvestigation. • M-payments “Standardisation work on m-paymentsshouldensure full interoperabilitybetween m-paymentsolutions and favour open-standardstoenableconsumermobility (…) Standardisationshouldaddresstheissue of portability of m-paymentappliccations”.

  5. Interoperability in mobile payments (I) ________________________________________________________ Gaining impressive traction riding on popularity of mobile phones as payment enabler- Great looking pie! • Everybody wants a piece • Traditional PSPs • MNOs • Tech companies (handset makers, OS developers, etc) • Others “Bankingisessential. Banks are not.”

  8. Interoperability in mobile payments (IV)____________________________________________________ • Bumpy road ahead • Remote v NFC • Within NFC: SE embedded in chip v embedded in handset v embedded in SD card • Revenue sharing • Access issues • Others: security, privacy, etc.
