Referring to this article that I saw on Daring Fireball

Has anyone played with iBeacon yet? This is the first I have heard of it. I am not a developer
I assume it can be turned off or set to broadcast to certain devices only; I certainly do not want ads popping up on my phone while I walk around the mall.
Why does the article reference NFC tags being placed on all items? I thought one just used NFC to transmit credit card data at a pay kiosk, as a replacement to credit cards.
If OT let me know, I can repost elsewhere...but it involves an iOS 7 feature.
