Comment Unfortunately Unreliable, (Score 1) 244
I currently work for a ticketing company in Australia,
We recently did a gig where Vodaphone were using this technology, as cool as it is, we all noticed it was also remarkably unreliable.
Out of the 60 people on his list... He had to do 30 manual lookups because 'It couldn't read the codes properly'. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it was the custom phone covers, cracked screens or just simple incompatabilities with the phone screens. So until they can over come all the variables involved in getting atleast a 95% success rate which is very important especially when you have 10,000 people standing in line then I think this concept/technology will be a gymick for a long time.
