Actually, the 2D barcode launched in France is based on the mobiletag solution. Mobiletag (a French company that proposes a global solution regrouping: the creation and management of barcodes, the readers and applications for mobiles, a platform for managing information), the AFMM and the 3 French mobile operators (Orange, SFR and Bouygues) have already signed a mutual license agreement concerning the specifications of the 2D Barcode Flashcode, and mobiletag has recently won the invitation to tender of SFR. Thus, 2D bar code now has its standard in France. The mobiletag application for reading barcodes can be downloaded for free on mobiletag.com and it is now embedded directly into mobile phones during construction. For example, thanks to the invitation to tender accepted by SFR, mobiletag readers will be now directly embedded into the SFR, Orange, Bouygues mobile phones. Basically what this means is that today the position of the 2D barcode in France is strong and clear and marks the beginning of Marketing operations. Operators from other countries are also integrating this technology, leading to international interoperability and thus increasing the attraction of the mobiletag 2D barcode to advertisers and simple users.
