Vithagan, Like Nerd says NFC somewhat widely used in most developed countries, USJapan/SG etc.. But Merchants has to buy new devices, which is the bottleneck till now. Otherwise there are many use cases.
This video explains them - NFC Tags & Android fone
Me worked on NFC payments and e-ticketing, in past.

Cardboard instead of metal
http://news.yahoo.com/cardboard-bicycle-change-world-says-israeli-inventor-090732689.html
MOSHAV AHITUV, Israel (Reuters) - A bicycle made almost entirely of cardboard has the potential to change transportation habits from the world's most congested cities to the poorest reaches of Africa, its Israeli inventor says.
Izhar Gafni, 50, is an expert in designing automated mass-production lines. He is an amateur cycling enthusiast who for years toyed with an idea of making a bicycle from cardboard.
He told Reuters during a recent demonstration that after much trial and error, his latest prototype has now proven itself and mass production will begin in a few months.
"I was always fascinated by applying unconventional technologies to materials and I did this on several occasions. But this was the culmination of a few things that came together. I worked for four years to cancel out the corrugated cardboard's weak structural points," Gafni said.
"Making a cardboard box is easy and it can be very strong and durable, but to make a bicycle was extremely difficult and I had to find the right way to fold the cardboard in several different directions. It took a year and a half, with lots of testing and failure until I got it right," he said.
...

The bicycles are not only very cheap to make, they are very light and do not need to be adjusted or repaired, the solid tires that are made of reconstituted rubber from old car tires will never get a puncture, Elmish said.
"These bikes need no maintenance and no adjustment, a car timing belt is used instead of a chain, and the tires do not need inflating and can last for 10 years," he said.
A full-size cardboard bicycle will weigh around 9 kg (about 20 lbs) compared to an average metal bicycle, which weight around 14 kg.
The urban bicycle, similar to London's "Boris bikes" and others worldwide, will have a mounting for a personal electric motor. Commuters would buy one and use it for their journey and then take it home or to work where it could be recharged.
He said that as bicycles would be so cheap, it hardly mattered how long they lasted.
"So you buy one, use it for a year and then you can buy another one, and if it breaks, you can take it back to the factory and recycle it," he said.
Gafni predicted that in the future, cardboard might even be used in cars and even aircraft "but that is still a way down the road."
"We are just at the beginning and from here my vision is to see cardboard replacing metals ... and countries that right now don't have the money, will be able to benefit from so many uses for this material," he said.
I got so excited with this cardboard news and was talking about it in the lunch room. There was this gentleman (whom I've seen from time to time to be aloof and quiet) who talked to me that he too read about it and got thoroughly impressed.
Now I got another "AhA" moment when this lunch-room-co-worker explained his background...
Since this is an IT center, I associate all with IT as the main current occupation (though many have got electronics / telecom and other engg background).
This man too has a bachelors in ECE from India, works in IT for the last decade...but did his MS here in chemical tech. ("I wanted to learn something different") and is now doing his PhD in "bio medical sciences" (DNA samAchchAram)...:surprised:
