I see how it works.  Both sides are an RFID scanner but mostly the poster
would be passive.  The cell phone would then scan the chip, report the
information and your position to the network which then in turn would show
the nearest movie theater and charge your credit card.  Sounds like another
way to get people to spend more money.

I read of another recently.  Ads will print a small bar code made of small
black and white squares.  You scan the code with your camera phone.  The
data is decoded and will return you the prices and nearest location to buy
or have an online source already loaded with your credit card information.

Not for me.
