1. Mobile money contribution may be small compared to current MNO total revenue but could be important for future revenue growth. Mobile money is expected to reach 10% of total MNO revenue within 10 years and be cash flow positive within 3 years for many operators.
2. Mobile money success is highly dependent on the size of the MNO's existing voice customer base. Having a large pre-existing customer base is important for driving adoption of mobile money services and reaching critical mass.
3. Modeling shows that even if not the first mover, the revenue potential is greatest for the largest MNO in a given market due to their larger existing customer base driving higher adoption of mobile money services.

Evolution of B2B marketplaces - How to grow your market share in manufacturin...Mirakl
B2B buyers are consumers when they’re off the clock. They want the same selection, competitive pricing, and convenience they get from shopping online for their personal purchases. In fact, 80% of B2B buyers expect it.
Today, the market for B2B marketplaces represents $12.2 trillion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV) worldwide, more than double its worth in 2013 and is made up of platform pioneers like Tetra Pak, Conrad, Metro Cash & Carry or Siemens Mobility.
The Covid-19 "digital shock" created by the lockdown and consequently economic crisis are likely to be additional drivers fostering the use of digital marketplaces in the future… and may also represent an opportunity for Barbarians to accelerate their attack of a market in turbulence.
In an exclusive webinar with Matthieu Simon, Partner at Roland Berger, Wim Borret, Business Developer at Webhelp and Brendan Walsh, EVP Sales EMEA at Mirakl will discuss the evolution of B2B marketplaces in the world with a deep dive in manufacturing and aftermarket spare parts. In this webinar, you’ll learn:
Why the B2B marketplace model is accelerating across the world
A global competitive context: how marketplaces have to deal with the digital natives (i.e. Amazon and Alibaba)

What is the future of the Telecommunications industry in AfricaDavid Graham
Deloitte recently completed an in-depth analysis of the telecommunications market in Africa, its trends, and the drivers of it. We are convinced that there will be consolidation in the telecommunications sector and inevitably more inbound investment as the market opens up and the economic returns improve.
This paper analyses the impact of Over the Top applications (OTTs) on mobile operator revenues. Operators have argued that OTTs have cannibalised voice and SMS revenues and warned that the resulting decline of overall revenues leads to lower investment in network infrastructure; substandard quality of service; lower tax revenues and lower licensing revenues. This paper investigates this claim by using publicly available information from mobile operators across Africa to analyse trends in voice, SMS and data revenues.
The paper analyses three factors impacting revenue trends: changes in usage pattern across voice, SMS and data, the impact of regulatory interventions and choice of business model.
The paper shows that most operators across Africa have experienced strong revenue growth due to an OTT-induced increase in data revenues that outpaces potential decreases in voice and SMS revenues.
Only a few operators saw a decline in service revenues over the last five years. Factors explaining the decline include regulatory interventions, economic decline of a country (drop in GDP), and being stuck in a voice and SMS centred 2G business model. Operating a mostly 2G network makes an operator vulnerable to losses in international and domestic call and SMS revenues while at the same time not being able to generate more data revenues. Case studies of Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria and Ghana are used to illustrate the impact of a decline in GDP and subscriber numbers, foreign exchange and competition, the impact of regulatory interventions and a data-centric business model.
The paper argues that policy makers and regulators should be more concerned with stimulating network investment into 4G+ and less with attempting to protect operators from the impact of OTTs. The paper concludes that regulation is not suitable to protect outdated business models.
Though digital credit has been in Tanzania for years, there have been few analyses of the country’s digital credit market. Existing studies raise important concerns about digital credit’s impact on customers. To help fill this knowledge gap in Tanzania, CGAP and the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics, at the request of the Bank of Tanzania, analyzed data from three digital credit providers and built a first-of-its-kind, data-driven picture of the digital credit market’s evolution and current state. In total, we looked at transactional and demographic data for more than 20 million loans disbursed over 23 months.
This playbook discusses the various value-added services (VAS) that could increase uptake of mobile retail payments in Tanzania and similar emerging markets.

Global Landscape Study on P2G Payments: Summary of in-country consumer resear...CGAP
For this study on P2G (Person-to-government) payments, Rwanda was selected as a focus country given the potential reach and varied nature of two key initiatives: the IREMBO e-government platform and the Tap&Go smartcard for public bus transport. Digital payments for school fees and utility payments were also studied. Tap&Go is privately managed but offers P2G learnings for other countries where public transport is government-run.
The research sought to answer questions across three key areas:
1. How well did digital P2G payment solutions reach and address the needs of the financially excluded?
2. What were effective and sustainable business models between actors, and how were they set up?
3. How do current and planned solutions support and work with the evolving digital payments ecosystem in Rwanda?

Services Financiers Numériques pour les Producteurs de Cacao en Côte d’IvoireCGAP
Les petits exploitants agricoles, même ceux des chaines de valeur structurées comme celle du cacao en Côte d’Ivoire, n’ont généralement pas la possibilité d’accéder aux services des banques, institutions de microfinance et autres institutions financières formelles. Fournir à ces segments de clients des services financiers adaptés qui soient abordables et durables constitue un défi majeur.
L’un des nombreux défis en Côte d’Ivoire est de sortir du système de paiement en espèces pour qu’ainsi un lien soit établi entre ces exploitants agricoles et les institutions financières. Le canal mobile offre une opportunité unique pour effectuer cette transition du cash vers les paiements numériques mais la proposition de valeur pour les exploitants agricoles doit être attractive.
C’est ce défi qu’Advans Côte d'Ivoire s’est engagée à relever et les résultats du projet pilote – mis en œuvre au cours des derniers 22 mois par Advans avec l’appui du CGAP - sont prometteurs.
Digital Financial Services for Cocoa Farmers in Côte d'IvoireCGAP
Smallholder farmers, even those in structured value chains such as cocoa farmers in Côte d’Ivoire, are largely unable to access banks, microfinance institutions and other formal financial institutions. Providing meaningful financial services to these customers in an affordable and sustainable manner is a great challenge. In Côte d’Ivoire, transitioning from cash to digital payments may alleviate some of these challenges
This presentation details a digital financial services pilot project – implemented over 22 months by Advans Côte d'Ivoire with the support of CGAP – which has shown promising results.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

2. Five business case insights on mobile money
How to think about the overall revenue potential?
1. Mobile money contribution may be small compared to current MNO total
revenue but could be important for future revenue growth
2. Mobile money success is highly dependent on the size of the MNO’s voice
customer base
What are the most critical business case drivers?
3. Direct profit from mobile money depends on growth in “electronic-only”
transactions, i.e., more transactions per deposit
4. There are indirect benefits of mobile money to MNOs, but these only
become significant when mobile money reaches scale
How should MNOs think about scale and profitability?
5. To capture long-term profits beyond domestic transfers, mobile money
implementations will need to “leave money on the table” in the short term
Note: This report was informed by CGAP’s Mobile Money Expectations Survey, CGAP M-PESA profitability analysis,
CGAP/Dalberg analysis of mobile money business case, CGAP/BFA/AfricaNext research on external market effects on
mobile money, and other published data/research

3. 1. Mobile money contribution may be
small compared to current MNO
overall revenue but could be
important for future revenue growth

4. Mobile money is expected to be cash flow positive within 3 years of
launch and represent 10% of total MNO revenue within 10
• Mobile money is expected to be cash flow positive within 3 years
– 43% of respondents to the Mobile Money Expectations Survey believe their
implementations will be cash flow positive in under 3 years
– These expectations match some actual experience: (1) CGAP analysis estimates that
M-PESA Kenya reached positive cash flows in year 3; (2) GSMA MMU estimates that
MTN Uganda will reach positive cash flows in year 2 or 3
• Mobile money is expected to be 10% of overall revenue in 3-5 years
– 80% of respondents to the Mobile Money Expectations Survey expected mobile
money to comprise 10% total MNO revenue within 5 years of launch
– Even at 10% of total revenue, mobile money can comprise up to 100% of current non-
voice revenue

MTN (Ghana) $81,755,100 $760,609,292 $56,941708

5. M-PESA has exceeded these expectations, but most others are not on
track to reach 10% of total MNO revenue in 3 years
• M-PESA Kenya revenue surpassed USD 94 million by year 3, equal
to 9% of Safaricom’s total annual revenue
• CGAP estimates that other mobile money services are not on track
to meet these direct revenue expectations
– Even MTN Uganda, considered a success in many ways, is not likely to meet those
revenue expectations

10. Modeling exercise showed that revenue potential is greatest for the
largest MNO in a market, even when it is not the first mover
• Because existing voice market determines adoption of mobile
money, even if the second largest MNO moves first, it will likely
make less than the largest MNO launching second
• Largest MNO could secure 60% more in revenue when second
entrants come on its heels (2-7 months)*

14. There are 3 main drivers behind this level of direct profitability growth
for mobile money
1. Growth in overall transactions/customer
Direct profit 2. Change in cost structure away from fixed
drivers marketing costs towards variable costs
3. Growth in ratio of “electronic-only”
transactions to agent-based transactions
Indirect profit
drivers
14
15. Growth in overall transactions per customer is important to mobile
money profitability growth
• Growth in transactions per registered customer comes from growth
in ratio of active customers to inactive customers and growth in
transactions per active customers
High inactive customer rates mean each active Rapid profit growth comes when not only the
customer must generate large amounts of ratio of active customers increases, but each
revenue for mobile money to see profits active customer also transacts more

18. 4. There are indirect benefits of
mobile money to MNOs, but these
only become significant when
mobile money reaches scale
18
19. There are 2 main drivers of indirect profit stemming from mobile money
Direct profit
drivers
1. Airtime purchased through mobile money

2. Use of mobile money reducing customer

19
20. Airtime cost of sales and churn are primary cost drivers for MNOs,
making them the main targets for indirect benefits from MM
Selling airtime direct to consumers through Churn (or the percent of customers an
mobile money can save MNOs over 20% in MNO loses every month) is rising, costing
cost of sales in scratchcards MNOs millions in lost revenue

22. …but indirect benefits are only significant when mobile money reaches
a large proportion of total MNO voice customers
• Comparing averages suggests that mobile money reduces churn…
– Analysis of a major Africa mobile money service shows subscribers churn 60% less
than general subscribers (2.18% versus 5.71% monthly churn)
– Safaricom churn has remained flat since M-PESA launch, but as competition has
increased in the same period M-PESA may have prevented increase in churn
• …but more than 20% of the voice customers may need to be using mobile money to
see a meaningful impact on revenue
– Registered users in most markets are under 10% of subscriber base unlike 77% for
Safaricom in Kenya and 17% for MTN Uganda

• Cost savings from airtime sales through mobile money are highly dependent on the
scale of the mobile money business
– 25% of total MNO airtime must be converted from scratchcard sales to mobile money

25. To capture long-term profits beyond domestic transfers, mobile money
implementations will need to “leave money on the table” in the short term
None of these pricing strategies above preclude what MNOs need to do operationally to create a
successful mobile money business, i.e., agent network management, marketing etc.
26. Volume of everyday small business or merchant transactions are likely
to be at least 10x the size of domestic transfers

27. Current mobile money pricing aims to maximize profits from domestic
transfers, but hinders growth into the merchant payments market
For a large domestic transfer MM pricing is
low, but for smaller payment sizes the cost At a basic level, pricing that makes
transacting at lower transaction sizes more
is prohibitive
expensive will make it harder for low-income
customers who in many markets are likely to

28. This short-term focus may hinder customer adoption from ever
reach “tipping point” scale to capture small merchant payments

29. Similarly, the volume of payments between consumers & institutions
(gov’t & corporations) dwarf those from consumer to consumer
In India, payment flows between consumers and In Kenya M-PESA, while exhibiting massive
government are 40 times the size of total payment growth in the P2P space, has likely captured less
flows from consumer to consumer than 7% of the total Kenya payments market

32. Significant indirect benefits of mobile money are also only
realized with large scale customer adoption
• Indirect benefits can represent up to 30% to 50% of overall benefits
to the MNO…

2. Use of mobile money reducing

– 25% of total MNO airtime must be converted from scratchcard sales to mobile
money sales before cost savings surpass 2% of MNO revenue

33. There are additional revenue opportunities beyond transaction
fees and indirect benefits that may open up at scale
• Mobile money and its usage data could be utilized as a targeted advertisement
