French term or phrase: centralisation des oppositions
This is one bullet in a series of bullets commenting on the results of a survey of users of a mobile telephone payment system in a pilot project:

La centralisation des oppositions est logiquement intéressante (94% très intéressant) pour la plupart des testeurs, dans la mesure ou elle va dans le sens de la simplification des procédures.

the single-mindedness of those opposed


Explanation:
Hello,

Are the talking about those opposed to whatever in this mobile phone survey having a common focus (centralisation)?

oppositions = those opposed?

dans la mesure ou elle va dans le sens de la simplification des procédures > insofar as the main focus involves simplication of payment procedures

I hope this helps.

clustering of opposition


Explanation:
Particularly in view of the reference to "94%" linked with significance, I believe that this is about statistical clustering under a bell curve. However, the expression when googled does not get ghits, except for the following: http://www.senat.fr/rap/l05-492/l05-492_mono.html, (which is about the lack of a centralised record of opposition to marriages), which seems irrelevant to your text.
