I think you'll find when EV's are common place the government will bring in toll roads everywhere!

But ... but iOS 9 could BLOCK my Ad-Block, dev squeals

Just use a VPN with built in ad blocking.... takes a couple of hours to setup on a VPS from scratch.

Keen to get CRITICAL PAYMENT systems up QUICKLY after HACK?

@TheWeddingPhotographer Totally agree! We can't wait around for days of forensics to be completed while our business takes no payments.
