Nielsen: Smartphone penetration in China higher than UK and US
尼爾森：中國智能手機普及率已超越英美

尼爾森調查顯示，中國智能手機普及率已超越英美
新浪科技訊香港時間3月1日消息，美國市場研究公司尼爾森發佈的《2013流動消費者報告》顯示，中國的智能手機普及率已經超越美國和英國，但居於韓國之後。另一方面，雖然智能手機在英美等國家熱銷，但功能手機仍在印度和俄羅斯等國占據主導地位。
根據尼爾森的報告，智能手機在各國手機用戶中的普及率如下：美國53%、英國51%、韓國67%、中國66%，但印度只有10%、土耳其19%、巴西36%、俄羅斯37%。
尼爾森發現，智能手機用戶已經在美國、英國、韓國、中國等地成為主流，變成多數手機用戶的選擇。但在其他國家，智能手機所需的網絡仍然局限於大城市，因此標準的功能手機仍是印度、巴西、俄羅斯等國消費者的首選產品。然而，這一趨勢已經逐漸開始發生變化。
總體而言，年輕手機用戶更青睞智能手機。因此在這些用戶的推動下，越來越多的國家將逐步擴建智能手機網絡。
尼爾森還發現，各國的智能手機套餐存在差異。在智能手機普及率較高的國家，用戶更傾向於選擇固定資費的數據套餐；而在智能手機普及率較低的國家，用戶更青睞按照實際使用量支付費用，或是直接使用WiFi上網。
很多用戶甚至擁有不止一部手機，有的是一部用於工作，另一部用於個人生活。俄羅斯有51%的受訪者表示，他們擁有一部以上的手機，美國的這一比例僅為17%。
從智能手機使用情況來看，短信、網絡瀏覽、社交網絡在多數國家都是最熱門的活動。在主要國家中，遊戲、社交網絡、導航則是最熱門的流動應用。
尼爾森的報告對美國、英國、澳大利亞、巴西、中國、印度、意大利、俄羅斯、韓國和土耳其等國的用戶行為和設備偏好進行了分析，數據取自2012年4月至6月，受訪者為7.6204萬，其中有5.4585萬人能夠確認自己的手機類型。整體來看，有2.8103萬人擁有智能手機，2.6482萬人擁有非智能手機。(書聿)

More policies to support cross-border use of renminbi     
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2013-03/02/content_16268637.htm
China is likely to issue more supportive measures to encourage cross-border use of the yuan amid growing global demand for the currency, said an industry insider.
Such measures include a larger quota for renminbi qualified foreign institutional investors, fewer restrictions under the capital account, and more freedom for global yuan investments by individuals, said Cheng Jun, general manager of the Corporate Banking Unit of Bank of China.
“We are still not sure of the timetable and details of such policies, but we think this will be the next step taken by the central bank,” said Cheng.
Cheng’s estimates were based on the strong growth momentum of international use of the yuan.
In 2012, cross-border settlement in yuan rose 41.4 percent year-on-year, to 2.94 trillion yuan ($472 billion) according to the People’s Bank of China, the central bank.
“Demand for the Chinese currency is robust,” Cheng said, adding that BOC’s RMB business will continue to focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

GSMA survey identifies 30m active mobile money customers in 2012
http://www.retailinasia.com/article/tech/technology/2013/03/gsma-survey-identifies-30m-active-mobile-money-customers-2012
The number of active mobile money users globally grew impressively in 2012, with more than 30 million people undertaking 224.2 million transactions totaling $4.6 billion during the month of June 2012 alone.
GSMA’s Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU) program, which released the figures in a recent report, said the industry is also becoming increasingly competitive, with 40 markets identified as having at least two different mobile money services available. In 2012, about 41 live mobile money services were launched.
“The social impact of mobile money is already well documented, and our report last year offered the first global benchmarks on how many customers were using mobile money,” said Chris Locke, Managing Director, GSMA Mobile for Development.
“Following our second Mobile Money Adoption Survey, we are able to share deeper insights on the number of customers, on how customers are actually using the service and, perhaps more importantly, on how successfuloperators are positioning and managing mobile money to meet the needs of those customers.”
The GSMA report counted 81.8 million registered customers globally and with the total number of deployments on a global basis growing by almost 38 percent. Interestingly, it showed that there are now more mobile money accounts than bank accounts in Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania and Uganda, and more mobile money agent outlets than bank branches in at least 28 countries.
In some countries, the total value of mobile money transactions is equivalent to a significant proportion of the country’s overall GDP. In June 2012, it was equivalent to more than 60 percent of GDP in Kenya, more than 30 percent of GDP in Tanzania, and more than 20 percent of GDP in Uganda.

Samsung NFC mobile payment at vending machines
Samsung NFC 手機付款自動販賣機中文動手買
http://chinese.engadget.com/2013/03/01/samsung-nfc-mobile-payment-chinese-hands-on/
來到2013 年，香港將慢慢的進入NFC 流動支付時代。隨著PCCW 宣佈今年與恒生銀行合作推出MasterCard PayPass 付款服務，我們可以想像未來只要拿起手機就可以付款了。這次在西班牙這邊，Samsung 也展示相關的技術，我們可以看到一台自動販賣機配備了支援NFC 付款的裝置，其支援Visa PayWave 及MasterCard PayPass。我們只要拿起已進行銀行聯網的NFC 手機，在黃色的裝置上觸控便可以進行付款，並通過螢幕看到付款的狀態。這個功能即使在螢幕關閉的狀態下（手機是要開機的啦！）也可以做到，不別開啓特別的Apps，也算是一個方便的做法。跳轉看我們的動手買影片，你會更直接明瞭一點。
