Nice to see the BBC getting excited about mobile technology..

Monitise is a young UK start-up that has already made significant in-roads into the US market.

The firm was founded four years ago by ex-professional sportsman Alastair Lukies and provides a mobile phone banking and payment service.

“An injury put paid to aspirations of being a full-time rugby player,” said Mr Lukies. “Ever since, I’ve been building businesses.”
