Murray,

There's at least an implied TPA as the Coke machine has to recognize the
signal from the cell phone, and authenticate this somehow (back end server
to GSM server interfacing to validate phone SIM ID -or similar).

Since the GSM server will not let just anyone (or Coke machine!) talk to
it,
there is a TPA there somewhere!

We are on the right track here using this Coke example - as you note - 
this is exactly the sort of use case that we need to be able to demonstrate
for the architecture.

Thanks, DW.
