Is China More Techno Advanced than the United States?


We have learned today that Residents of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, located at the southern coast of China, can now use cell phones to pay their subway fares. No longer will they need to purchase tokens, cards etc. they will just see their bill unified with their
cell phone bill.
Cell phone users interested in this service will need to request a installation of a small chip that makes their phone usable as the kind of rechargeable smart card used on public transportation.
As the service is jointly provided by Guangzhou public railways and China Mobile, cell phone clients of other telecommunication company are not eligible. The service is scheduled to be extended to buses as well.

I wonder when these types of services will make its way to the United States.
