New nano-SIM card will result in thinner smartphones
11.11.2011
It is just a matter of time before virtual SIMs take over, according to Malik Saadi , principal analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media. For operators, it will be a mixed blessing. They will lose some of the control physical SIM card affords them, but at the same time new opportunities in, for example, the machine-to-machine sector will come, he said.
In the meantime, Giesecke & Devrient will be showcasing the new form factor at the Cartes & Identification 2011 trade show, which takes place Tuesday to Thursday in Paris.
