End-user req's: just an NFC tag
PaaS customer req's: whatever NFC tech fits their scenario. Any combo of readers, tags, etc
NFC has many advantages over bar-codes which result in a much friendly end-user experience. No wrinkling, crinkling, smudging or any other ways of wrecking bar codes. Plus NFC can come in many form factors - plastic tags, sewn into clothing, or even ingestible pills.
Also, NFC is being incorporated into mobile phones. Imagine a world where your iPhone could unlocked doors, replaced all those crappy frequent buyer cards, and pay for your meals. We think that sounds pretty cool.

Well, it's already replaced all my frequent buyer cards, but the other stuff means that I just have to worry about losing or having my phone stolen or hacked just that more. It's certainly not something I'm readily comfortable with.
