Mobile ID Card for Students

KT, Korea's largest telecommunication service provider announced an agreement with Daedeok University to build a “Ubiquitous Campus”, reports Telecoms Korea.

"If the project is completed, students will be able to download their mobile ID card on their cell phones on the web, the company said.

The company's solution is a kind of next generation mobile customer service that lets customers download barcodes containing their personal information on handsets. The solution is expected to replace membership cards and/or mileage cards.

The mobile ID service will also be linked to library system so that students conveniently find out that books they look for are available or not."
