Welcome

Over the last few years, Paul and I have blogged for the Mobile Money for the Unbanked program at the GSMA Development Fund. On this, our new, personal blog, we plan to write more candidly and more frequently on the use of mobile technology to provide financial services in emerging markets (although we give ourselves permission to stray from this focus from time to time).

Our theme is simple. Mobile technology is going to radically re-shape every aspect of life in the developing world, including the way people manage their money. This will enrich and simplfy improve customers' lives, and it will create enormous new business opportunities. This blog is our way of trying to understand and anticipate this revolution.
