It reminds me of the sachet approach used for other BOP products or services. Poor people consume more because they can pay small amounts per transaction.

M-PESA was first launched by the Kenyan MNO Safaricom, an affiliate of Vodafone in March 2007. There are 6.5 million subscribers with 2 million transactions daily in Kenya alone. Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan is already using it and there are plans to expand the product to India, Egypt and South Africa. Hope this would help. Thanks.

I am wondering whether the same would happen when M-PESA launches cross border money transfers. This is very interesting.
