re: square -- consider the source.

it makes sense that the square coo would be "anti nfc." the notion of "nfc payments" as the way of the future detracts from the vision he's pitching -- that is "square payments" are the way of the future.

whether nfc ends up being integrated into square or not, and whether or not nfc is useful in the payments vertical is irrelevant to him. square likely wants you to think about square and only square when you think about mobile payments going forward...
