Would really be interesting to see how this affects the plans to go global especially if they want to tap into the remittances business and Vodafone has global ambitions for Mpesa...
Ali, MPESA has gone global but not as a Safaricom product since the IP is owned by Vodafone. MPESA is in India, South Africa, Tanzania, Afghanistan, e.t.c. I am not an IP expert, but forget Safaricom ever getting anything out of it from the global market. Vodafone has that in their pockets.
