    At some point I hope. A different proprietary swipe system is used in Japan by a majority of the population for day to day transactions.

The Japanese system requires secured chips imbedded in cell phones (or their cases) belonging to a system that everyone uses through their banks. This system simply uses your credit card transmitted through a bar code.
