Subject: Re: [IP] QR Codes

When I was in Tokyo earlier this year, there were QR codes everywhere,  
from ads for apartments to rave fliers posted on construction sites.  
Even ads in magazines have QR codes for website URLs and other contact  
information.  I even have a flyer handed to me for what I suspect was  
a "massage parlour" that had not only the physical measurements of the  
employees, and their likes and dislikes, but a QR code I could use to  
contact them.

I suspect that QR codes are not used as much here in the US due to the  
sorry  state of our cellular networking infrastructure and relatively  
primitive mobile phones.
