Rabobank is introducing a similar type of contactless payments in the Netherlands. Calling rates start at 0.10 eurocents per minute,with a minimum of 10 euro per month. The media producer and broadcaster of John de Mol, Talpa, is delivering content like clippings of football matches, music and movies to the newborn MVNO.
