I haven't seen a single person who'd voluntarily scan a code (or an NFC label for that matter) in the street, anywhere in the world
Post-men do it all the time.
Maybe the problem is that iBeacons are a bit too passive/static. But even a full BLE device that can transmit a bit more complex information is still debatble in terms of value
You are missing the point, too. I guess, the value of iBeacon is in reception, not transmission, as is also said about RFID terminals, while it still may have some other use.
Post-men don't do it "voluntarily", by which I mean e.g. out of curiosity, whereas the purpose of advertisement QR codes is just that. "Wow, look an advertisement QR code, I should definitely scan it and see what they are offering!". Really?
