How does Apple pay differ from Google's ecosystem and whatever it provides? There, the smartphone app (Google Wallet vs passbook) and the hardware is not made by the same people (Samsung vs Apple) - so does this pose any problems?
Apple Pay uses industry-standard EMV contactless protocols over NFC (and MSD contactless for backward compatibility). This makes it compatible with a wide range of contactless payment terminals in deployment today. So if the last section of the article is correct that means ApplePay will be compatible with Mastercard PayPass terminals? If this is true it would be really easy to roll out ApplePay as for example in Swi…
As far as hardware goes, yes - the same antenna you use for talking with a MasterCard can get used for talking to a smartphone. However, POS software is not at all standardized. You'd likely end up rolling out support for one POS platform at a time. They'll have the hardware you need to support ApplePay, but the rest of the work is probably tricky. tl;dr POS software systems that accept PayPass can change their softw…

That sounds different than Google Wallet. With an NFC Android phone you can pay at any PayPass terminal, without them needing to change their software.
One reason Apple Pay matters for developers and startups is it erodes a key advantage of leaders and incumbents. By dramatically reducing the friction around account creation and payments, Apple Pay makes it much, much easier for consumers to try new services. Ride sharing services, for example, could benefit from this. Of course, it will take a while for the effects to be felt, but increased competition in commerce…
Anyone can be become a merchant with a PayPass reader today. Apple Pay is not changing that, nor can it since that sector is entirely dependent on local commerce/finance laws and payment processor anti-fraud costs.

It really doesn't do this. Apple Pay is not the solution to moving money between parties who aren't registered merchants, with the relevant banking setup.

Apple Pay is very standards compliant and the networks are very global. So I wouldn't be surprised.
