Hmmm, this is the first I've heard of new smartcard trials going on here in
Sydney. Isn't it interesting how quiet this issue tends to be?

Perhaps the reason there's no info around is that the organisations involved
(presumably financial insitutions) don't want the public to know what the
organisations regard as trade-secret data. I could be wrong, and I'd love to
find out more about this, just as lots of other people probably do too.

Regards,

Craig.
