Nokia's HERE Maps division and other companies today announced the Open Mobile Ticketing Alliance, a new organization they hope will create a single, global standard for NFC-based mobile transit tickets. The goal of the OMTA is to develop a "register once, travel anywhere" system that's interoperable with payment vendors and transit operators around the world. The OMTA wants to standardize the way the phone and transit systems communicate with one another so users can have the same travel experience no matter which city they are traveling in.
