I saw an announcement from MTN this morning, here is the story via Business Wire: Vodafone M-Pesa and MTN Mobile Money Agree to Interconnect Mobile Money Services. It is always going to be about size and scale in this case, the two businesses have to talk to one another to make customers feel like they have choice. Pretty darn good news I suspect, it means that if you want to choose your network in East Africa, you do not have to do it on the basis of whether you have to transfer money to x or y on the same network.
