Saw a CNN story Friday about an interesting special debit card application in Mexico. They're being issued to poor Mexicans, who can use them to buy tortillas and a few other foodstuffs. The cards are tied to a behavior-control database and failure to send kids to school, get mandatory medical exams/treatments/vaccinations, etc. results in card deactivation. bd On Sat, 20 Apr 1996, Lucky Green wrote: > Years after smartcards have become ubiquitous in such countries as Pakistan > and Nepal, not to mention Europe, I just saw my first smartcard commercial > ever on US television. > > Way to go :-) > > > > Disclaimer: My opinions are my own, not those of my employer, DigiCash, Inc. > > -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> > PGP encrypted mail preferred. > > >
