KT Technology see http://www.kioskterminals.eu The use and spread of kiosk technology is spreading quicker then the word itself can do, and airline kiosk check in is still a area which needs self service deployments, but passengers are slow to take on the new technology with concerns on whether they have done it right, will they be issued with the same ticket as the girl behind the desk, will there bagagge make it as well to the destination. But the more the self service becomes prevailiant, and the better the kiosk owners are to demonstrate use of kiosk systems the quicker we people will embrace the technology.
