This paper describes the latest results of StoLPan consortium, the technical and business challenges of the NFC service development, interesting findings about the current issues of the NFC market, and a summary about the StoLPan application framework containing NFC technological details. Application opportunities of NFC services in the retail environment are also introduced.
