If companies didn't contract stuff out, where would you be? And if the

contract isn't clear about ownership of what you create they are crazy.

So TfL owns the right to the MiFare system, smart card readers and contactless

bank cards does it? Umm , no. So what is left - the gates and the backend

software?

They own whatever middleware and other technology has taken over a year
more than even the most recent estimate to get running. It looks as if
it *ought* to be simple, but clearly it's not.
