Wait. This can not be true can it. Some have suggested that the members of MC2, that group that wants to set 2D bar code standards, were behind Neomedia one of their partner members. And we learn that Telefonica, one of those members has not only supported Scanbuy, but has adopted their technology? Something just don't seem right here with the MC2 group and whose solution they support....LOL.
