Falls Creek falls for NFC

Australian near field communications technology distributer, NFC Wireless, claims to have turned the ski resort of Falls Creek into "Australia's first NFC enabled town" after persuading 50 businesses to install its NFC tags and use these to provide customised information. "The technology provided by NFC Wireless enables NFC-ready customers to connect easily to each of the businesses in Falls Creek by simply tapping their handset against a tag at the business premises," it says.
