I have been looking around for accounts of NFC being as successful as you and other people claim. I'm not refuting your argument, just asking for clarification.
The top search results for "nfc asia" and "nfc hong kong" mainly return press releases and news articles about how NFC is being rolled out. In fact, most of the ones I found are as recent as July and August.
There was one older story from April 2011 talking about "hundreds of field trials" but no follow-on detail.
I'm not doubting that certain markets in major Asian cities have seen NFC rollouts. But I question a) the scale and b) the public reception. Indeed, since smart phones are still catching on in major markets in many Asian markets I am doubtful of how wide-spread NFC adoption actually can be.
I'd love to see some specific stories that refute my point of view.
