Silicon providers that make reader ICs (transceivers): 1) NXP semi 2) Sony Felica- very guarded, about everything 3) Melexis- they allow TI to repackage, but their IC can be used to call commands of all kinds; it isn't clear their Ip rights beyond 14443B. French Telecom has IP rights here. Oops, I forgot: 4) Inside Contactless - French company (Visa is one strategic investor)
