Barrack It's a good economic argument for Safaricom if nothing else. But yes, I do agree this shouldn't be forced on them. They should have that choice. Just like any bank has a choice not to have their ATMs connected to other banks..despite the KBA and the Clearing house. There will come a time that Mpesa will wish they had made the system agnostic to all service provides and charge a small fee for it..

Its like coming to my house and suggesting that the TV i bought for my family is a public good. Safaricom has rights over Mpesa including terminating its use, we have airtelmoney, Orangemoney, i cant get the argument. If i want Safaricom products i move to the network.

In my mind, Safaricom communication services and M-PESA are different services. Requiring that one subscribe to the first (Safaricom network) to access the benefits of the second (M-PESA) amounts to tying. This also applies to a lot of the M-products that run exclusively on that platform.

We might be looking at this Safaricom dominance issue wrongly. Let Safaricom run mpesa but have the exclusivity to safaricom numbers removed.
