Mpesa is Kenya and Kenya is Mpesa.
It was piloted, tested, honed, commercialized and matured in Kenya. The very idea of mobile money was tried in Kenya before anywhere else.
Even the name Mpesa was coined by a Kenyan ad agency, going with that link you've posted.
Your argument is like saying England should not claim American-owned Manchester United because they did not invent football.

Between Safaricom and Vodafone, who will collect the lincencing fee for Mpesa service?
A) Vodafone
Between safaricom and Ethiopia telcom who will collect transaction fees?
A) Ethiopia Telcom
The rest is just noise and PR, no money to it

Safaricom will receive about 25% of the revenue generated from mpesa in ET and this will drop to 10% with increased numbers in subscriptions.
Whether you like it or not, Safaricom will reap big from venturing into a 100million people economy/market.
In Kenya, mpesa has around 30-40million subscriptions and Safaricom generated 64B Ksh last year alone. Imagine getting a foothold in a 100 million market?
You are in for a rude shock. Buckle up

Peleka upumbavu leta evidence ati Safaricom will collect 25%! Mbona msi-collect from other Mpesa user countries? Keep dreaming loser!

M-Pesa allows users to deposit, withdraw, transfer money and pay for goods and services (Lipa na M-Pesa) easily with a mobile device.[2]

You dont understand how software licensing works Vodacom Tanzania operates MPESA but does not remit any shilling to safaricom. Even Safaricom themselves pay Vocafone UK for the mpesa platform..But its comfortable for you to believe what you want

When Mpesa was launched in Tanzania, South Africa, Romania etc. why wasn't the headline written ''Safaricom launches Mpesa in Romania'' ?
Because it was Vodaphone launching.
This time the reports and headlines say 'Safaricom is launching'..
And here you are pretending to know who and how the licencing and transaction revenues will be shared.

Sipendi watu mnao-claim uongo just to suit ur ego! Fool work up ur lazy us to invent something and later claim numerations. Just like Diageo Plc sidelined EA Brew on acquisition of a brewery in Ethiopia, the same is to happen with Mpesa entrance plus mobile acquisition that Vodafone will incharged.
As a matter of fact Tanzania should brag of having at least mobile companies owned by natives Sasatel n now Azamtel being launced! Keep bragging of ownership of what not urs!
Vodafone M-Pesa – the mobile money transfer and payment service that has transformed the lives of millions of people in emerging markets – has launched its first international money transfer corridor between Tanzania and Kenya.
Individuals will benefit from the low-cost of M-Pesa against existing international remittance services between the two countries.
M-Pesa customers from East Africa’s two biggest economies can now use their mobile phones for simple, safe and secure money transfers between countries via an established, combined network of 180,000 agents.
Michael Joseph, Vodafone Director of Mobile Money, said: “With a substantial unbanked population transacting mainly in cash, the Tanzania-Kenya corridor represents a significant opportunity for M-Pesa to give people and companies an accessible, low-cost alternative to traditional international remittances.”
Formal remittances between Tanzania and Kenya were around $133 million in 2012, according to the World Bank.
The cost of transferring money internationally through traditional channels like banks or money transfer operators can be up to 31% of the transaction, depending on the service provider. By comparison, using M-Pesa to transfer $50 across the Tanzania-Kenya border would cost around 1% of the transaction plus a foreign exchange fee.

Bla blah Blaaah. Utaongea utachoka. Lakini Safaricom watapata pesa zao. Na Safaricom at the end of the day is a Kenyan company.
Ongea kabisa. Hatimaye utachoka, utalala.

Fact: Vodafone uk owns mpesa platform and licences every Mobile Network operator who uses it including safaricom.
Fact: Vodafone UK pays safaricom for hosting services, previously Vodafone used to charge both lincence and server hosting before the servers were relocated to kenya.
Non Fact: Depending on Ethiopian Laws on finacial transaction hosting, ethiopia may prefer that the servers are located within their boarders..Judging by the protectionist regime of the ruling party, most likely selfhosting to happen.

Fact: Vodafone owns shares in Safaricom but Safaricom is a completely separate entity.
Fact: Safaricom reports annual revenue and profit from Mpesa. Profit is the money it remains with after licenses, taxes and other fees eg. to agents.
Fact: The final profit (including from Mpesa) is given to all shareholders as dividends. This includes Vodafone, GOK and the public.
Just because a landlord owns a premises doesn't mean you can't operate a business profitably.
Whatever will be launched in Ethiopia will be under Safaricom not Vodafone. Vodafone will still get their agreed licence fee, but you can't sit here and tell us that you know all the other revenue sharing details.
And the Ethiopia of last year is different from that of today. It's not music to Tanzanians ears, but they are opening up their market.
