Couple thoughts/questions... 1. You mentioned that yesterday you listed 5 business arrangements (and today a sixth), but I only noticed four from yesterday. Which one am I missing? Money service provider M-wallet aggregator Mobile bank Agent acquirer 2. As a former PayPal Mobile BD exec, I was trying to rationalize where PayPal fits in this framework. I believe they're in Money service provider and M-wallet aggregator, which makes me think that there are companies that may span multiple categories of your framework. Do you agree? Kabir,
