Sorry, still quite anecdotal, but I heard about a case related to RFC payment system, where operator wants to use BIP for loading payment application into SIM (I guess SMS-PP-data-download was not good enough for that). Also, at least some NFC plans use Smart Card Web Server (SCWS), that needs at least part of BIP. --Jukka --===============4561200407866091178==--
