Re: [kictanet] [Skunkworks] Kenya IGF 2011 Discussions Day 2 of 10
Mobile payments have redefined the movement of money across Kenya, spurred by Mpesa, even in the face of resistance by banks. Unlike with banks, transferring money between phone companies is yet to happen. Yet if we have to realize mobile transfers full potential we need seamless transfers between companies. We need regulation in place that would allow such seamless transfers, similar to what happens with calls, where telecom companies are obligated to handle calls originating outside their network.
