<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">It is impossible to split telecommunications businesses in the digital economy. If a telco sells connectivity to a farm or a farmer, is it an agricultural company?
Sells to a bank, is it a finance company? Maybe not. Then what if it adds some services to that connectivity… what service counts as additional businesses? And what if it is a partner’s service? Telcos’ have the unique capability to reach every single person
in this country, they should be encouraged to do that rather than hindered. Right now e-health, e-agri etc are still really under-developed in this country. They need more support and stronger players to push in that space… leaving it to start-ups on their
own will not succeed. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Besides, what if the telco just creates a separate company 100% owned (and controlled and managed) by itself, then what is the point of that – it is just a department
of the telco.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Surely if there is already a framework in place for licenses in any industry, and if a telco gets into that business it would need to apply for that license anyway;
for example if the telco started selling medicines online, then it (or its partner) would need the relevant license, and I don’t think anyone would argue with that.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your insightfull responses. This is where we need expert guidance, what i know is that you don't start taxing a baby at birth, you nurture them until they start boasting of their own balance sheet then you strike. I think
we are trying to solve the wrong problem with the wrong approach. I use mpesa to buy airtime for my Telkom line. Not sure if that is competition or coopetition. I bet what makes the later tick is responsibility, reliability and resilience. Basically what the
Customer wants. The other players should first up their game and then talk about dominance. Secondly do we really have a digital market worth breaking up or are we walking in imagination. Do we even have a local definition of the digital economy? Every sector
that is taxed needs budgetary facilitation and support from government. I bet that would be a good starting point.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To quote your mosquito and hammer analogy. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most people don’t know that from a technological perspective Mpesa was actually inferior to the other players in the ecosystem. Airtel Money and now T-Kash. What Safaricom did and continue to do is simple:-<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">They executed and continue to execute better than everyone else. Including the banks. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me give you some examples.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. There will be no Fintech to speak of today in Kenya without Mpesa. Fact. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Mobile Banking is almost 100% based on Mpesa. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. The Banks that have the lion’s share of mobile lending (Not Tala, not Branch), but KCB and NCBA have that pivotal position because of their partnership with Safaricom.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Yet still more than 80% of transactions in this country is still in cash. Instead of everyone and his grandmother crying foul that Safaricom is dominant why not go for the 80% that still operate cash? We have a scarcity mentality, is
what we have.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me go back to the issue of breaking up Mpesa.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I ask, is that really the best option? Us Africans have one serious problem. We think too small. In terms of our little countries and villages. My humble remedy to this ‘false’ dominance:-<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Assist Safaricom to become globally dominant. The remittance market worldwide moves $600 billion every year. Peer to peer. The kind of business that Mpesa has excelled in. What is Mpesa’s global market share in remittances? Less than
1%! What really are we talking about?? <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Put in place policies to ensure that Safaricom contributes a percentage into a Sovereign Fund to fund and activate a FinTech Ecosystem that is second to none in the world - Open Banking, APIs ecosystem, seed funding etc. instead of cutting
off the goose that lays the golden eggs nurture her and let her produce more geese that lay golden eggs. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Mpesa is a defacto NeoBank (a bank that is a 100% digital and reaches customers using mobile and computer networks only and don’t require physical branches). Mpesa is forced to partner with banks because of outdated financial policies
and regulations that need to be kicked in the butt and brought into the 22nd Century, kicking and screaming! <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Create an Open Banking/Open Mobile environment where players are literally forced to share their networks via APIs so that players can compete on an even playing field. Let players charge for their rails if they must. Within reasonable
parameters. In fact, Safaricom’s <b>Daraja Platform </b>already does this well. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This, in my humble opinion, will be the best way to ‘tame’ dominance. Market Failures and breaking up companies is an excuse for lazy policy makers and regulators to correct a ‘mistake’ that customers want. Abuse of ‘dominance’ won’t have
happened int the first place if policy makers and regulators didn’t suffer from a disease I call #StateCapture. A malaise that is brought about by not seeing the bigger picture. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t have a problem of dominance. We have a problem of laziness. Let’s cure that!<u></u><u></u></p>
