EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

Singtel-Optus is looking at NFC-equipped SIM cards as a way of getting around the problem of handset manufacturers not building the technology into their products.

Also today, Westfield sets up a digital retail testbed, and Google faces pressure from EU data chiefs to rework its controversial privacy policy.
