another secret apple deal - BOKU
It was supposed to be a secret, like apple always wants to keep it, now its a secret no more:)
Boku (www.boku.com) have been in negotiations with Apple to provide an alternate method of payment for apple pay. This enables consumers to pay for goods on their phones by charging directly on to their phone bills or deducting from available phone credits. Not something that has been popular in the US, they have been trying to make deals with anyone they can. Named project Argo, they want to keep it a secret, I know because I work there:) Apple got pissed after this leaked out a while back:

The date keeps getting pushed back, but its still set to happen. Whats going to be really funny, is to see this actually happen. All it takes is knock trxengine offline, and it would take the whole payment system down.
