Kenya overtaken by Tanzania in mobile money transfer

Mwenzangu Geza Ulole amejiahibisha hadi amechoka ametorokea kwake.

Hehehe!! Hii elimu Wakenya akina NairobiWalker Kafrican Samm999 n.k. wanaitoa bure lakini tatizo ni kwamba walengwa hawafaidiki kabisa, maana baada ya kila mwezi wanaibuka na yale yale. Ukiingia kwenye historia ya JF, haya haya tumeongea hadi tumechoka. Kuna wengine walifaidika na kubaki kimya, lakini kuna wale wanarudia yale yale.

Kwanza kuna jamaa mmoja anaitwa Barbarosa yaani kituko, king'ang'anizi mwanzo mwisho, angekua anatilia maanani elimu anayopewa na Wakenya angefaidi sana. Jameni inafaa tuwe tunatoa mtihani na kupokeza vyeti.
 
Hahaha..........I thought ulikua umetutishia zinaweza fika $5 billion? Wacha ningeje hizo figures zenye hazitawai kuja.
U have to understand figure given in Tanzania is for Mpesa! Having three mobile fone companies competing on equal footing that figure is relatively 2.5 times! Bear in mind that figure was 2013 and the report says have risen 3 folds for Mpeasa alone. When mobile experts say Tanzania is ahead of Kenya in mobile transactions are not stupid!

Executive summary
Tanzania’s TTCL enters the crowded mobile money market
The government has actively embraced competition in the telecom market, and has encouraged the private sector. Foreign participation has also been encouraged to promote economic growth and social development. Policy reforms have led to the telecom sector becoming among the most liberal in Africa. However, high import tariffs on telecoms equipment and taxes on telephone facilities by various authorities are still placing a burden on investors and operators.

Tanzania has two fixed-line operators (TTCL and Zantel) and eight operational mobile networks, with four additional players licensed under a new converged regulatory regime. With four major operators – Vodacom, Bharti Airtel (formerly Zain), Tigo and Zantel – mobile penetration has broached 80%. In recent years a price war among these players has adversely affected the smaller operators, which have suffered from customer churn.

The converged licensing regime has brought a large number of new players into the market. The liberalisation of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) telephony as well as the introduction of third and fourth generation (3G, 4G) mobile services and wireless broadband networks is boosting the internet sector which has been hampered by the low level of development of the traditional fixed-line network.

Following the launch of 3G and LTE mobile broadband services, the mobile networks have become the leading internet service providers. Operators are hoping for revenue growth in the mobile data services market, given that the voice market is almost entirely prepaid and voice ARPU continues to fall. To this end they have invested in network upgrades. A fast developing source of revenue is from mobile money transfer and m-banking services.

The landing of the first fibre optic international submarine cables in the country in recent years has revolutionised the market which up to that point entirely depended on expensive satellite connections. In parallel, the government has switched on the first phase of a national fibre backbone network to connect population centres around the country. However, the cost of international internet bandwidth has so far not come down by as much and not as quickly as expected.

The government has become more determined to manage the telecom sector more effectively. It has cracked down on counterfeit smartphones, which were thought to account for up to 30% of devices in circulation at the start of the campaign, while in early 2016 the telecom regulator’s board was dismissed after it had failed to update the Telecommunications Traffic Monitoring System (TTMS). This system was expected to deliver up to TZS400 billion to the government annually.

The Telecommunication Industry plays an important role to stimulate the economic development of any country. In Tanzania, the Investment from this sector continues to grow with the recent addition of new players to the market such as Smart and Halotel, joining the existing other operators already present today including Vodacom Tanzania, Tigo Tanzania, Airtel Tanzania and others.

Apart from Voice and Data services, Telecom companies offers other value added services such as mobile money transfers. Indirectly, telecom guided as an important sector in improving economic welfare of many Tanzanians by being listed among the sectors which provides more jobs in Tanzania

Statistics from TCRA shows, there is an increase in the number of users subscribing to different telecom services in Tanzania. By the end of 2014, there were 32,013,930 voice subscribers, As we go towards the end of 2015 we expect to have more than 35,920,090 total voice subscribers. For the past ten years, Vodacom Tanzania has been listed as the company holding the major market share in Tanzanian telecom market ahead of Airtel Tanzania and Tigo Tanzania.

The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) is a quasi independent Government body responsible for regulating the Communications and Broadcasting sectors in Tanzania.

Vodacom Tanzania is a subsidiary company of Vodacom Group (Pty) Limited, South Africa which is also a subsidiary of Vodafone Group UK. Vodacom Group (Pty) Limited owns a majority share portion of 65%, the remaining 35% is owned by Tanzanian shareholder, one Mirambo ltd. In the beginning of the last quarter of 2015, Vodacom Tanzania had 12,520,645 Voice Telecom subscribers and 7,130,582 mpesa subscriptions.




Voice Subscription market shares, Sept, 2015

Airtel Tanzania is another common brand in the market having 10,887,742 voice telecom subscribers and 3,957,509 mobile money subscribers. Airtel Tanzania, is an extension of another multinational telecom brand of Bharti Airtel. Bharti Airtel Limited is an Indian multinational telecommunications services company headquartered in New Delhi, India. It operates in 20 countries across South Asia, Africa, and the Channel Islands.



Tigo Tanzania is the most popular brand in the Tanzanian telecom market industry having the voice market share a little less than Airtel Tanzania having a total of 10,639,610 subscribers. This company holds the second place in offering mobile money services having 5,033,622 (33%) subscribers after Vodcom Tanzania which had 38% by the end of Q3 of 2015.

Tigo Tanzania is a brand name of MIC Tanzania Limited found in 1993. Millicom International Cellular based in Luxembourg in the major shareholder of this corporation. Tigo Tanzania is the leading innovative telecommunication company in the country, distinguished as a fully-fledged digital lifestyle brand.

The competition in acquiring new subscribers among these three major telecom companies is very high. By September, 2015 Tigo Tanzania (1.7%) was leading in monthly new subscriptions followed by Airtel Tanzania (1.6%) and then Vodacom Tanzania (1.2%)






Subscriptions Monthly Change Rate
While approaching end of 2015 these companies launched massive campaigns for their products in order to increase their customers base.

Regardless of these numbers which demonstrate huge competition in the industry, still new players believe they can win some stake. Smart Telecoms believe in having some share by becoming more efficient in offering products of the best quality with the young team driving the company.

A smart move behind major players in the Tanzanian Telecom market

Halotel believe they can grow to be among the major players in future due to its massive investment on deploying telecom infrastructure covering all country areas with same standard delivery.

What do you think, Is there a possibility for these new Telecom companies to win reasonable stakes in the Tanzanian telecom market, or will it remain the game of three?

Geza leo umepatikana............I have owned you like no one's business. My question is simple - give me the total amount of money transfered by Tanzanian Mobile Money industry to confirm your claim that Tanzania has surpassed Kenya. You have already proven yourself that in 2015 Kenya did $42 billion through mobile money and the figure will most likely surpass $50 million this year. Please give us the Tanzanian figure tuone kama itapita $42 billion ama unyamaze. Saa zingine ni ungwana kukubali kushindwa. You're all over throwing around figures of dormant accounts and accounts that transfer less than 100 Kenya shillings a year which in the long run means nothing and contribute nothing to the economy.

Halafu ukumbuke kujifunza hesabu lol. 1 trillion Kenya shillings is equal to 10 billion US dollars. Njoo Kenya masomo ya Primary ni bure.

You are so used to confusing your ill-educated Tanzanians till you've made yourself believe you are smart. These are Kenyans right here bruh. You silly articles about different mobile accounts don't prove your initial assertions. I already told you most Tanzanians have multiple accounts that are more likely to be dormant while most Kenyans only have one that is most of the time active. You claimed Tanzania has surpassed Kenya in mobile markets, give us the amount of money transacted by Tanzanians and lets see if it surpasses Kenya's $42 billion.

Stop imagining and tell us how much money is transacted within those networks. Dormant networks means nothing. Just like the port of Dar is bigger than the Port of Mombasa but the Port of Mombasa is more efficient and handles more cargo. You don't have to do it big, you just have to do it smart.

Wewe na mwenzako MK254 mnatia aibu.....
Tanzania moves $1.7 billion per month whereas Kenya moves $2.2 billion (2015 statistics). If you were only half as smart as you claim to be you would see that as a percentage of GDP Tanzania beats Kenya.
84% of adults in Tanzania have mobile money accounts, compared to just 68% in Kenya.
Besides, Tanzania's mobile money market is far more mature and competitive, with three large MNOs having an almost equal share of the pie.
We also pioneered interoperability.

False. Kenya's 2015 transactions totaled $42 billion. That is equal to $3.5 billion per months. Meanwhile you can't claim Tz transacted $1.7 billion (which is still less than a half of Kenya's FYI) without any source of evidence.

If you were only half as smart as you claim to be you would see that as a percentage of GDP Tanzania beats Kenya.

Don't go there, your intelligence is minuscule when compared to my high school version. See, your countryman claimed Tanzania's mobile money has overtaken Kenyan - it's percentage to GDP means nothing in this context. Next time you will be telling me Tanzania's Agriculture has overtaken the USA's because it's percentage to the GDP of Tz is way higher than USAs. Again, you can't calculate your transaction as a percentage of the GDP when you don't have the figures for the transactions yet. Where the hell are you fishing the figures from? Give us the figures first before we can talk of percentages. Kafrican come check out this sad soul.

I feel like I am talking to a nursery kid now.
1. Most mobile money accounts in Tanzania are dormant so as much as they are more than Kenya's, the active ones are just a mere half of those in Kenya.

2. Most Tanzanians have multiple accounts that make it seem like most adults have accounts. See, a single Tanzanian will have three accounts whilst using only one. This greatly exaggarates the percentages you talk of that's why we only use the active accounts in our calculations.
Besides, Tanzania's mobile money market is far more mature and competitive, with three large MNOs having an almost equal share of the pie.
.........and what do you mean by maturity? lol. We have more mobile money agents, more value of transactions, more applications that merge mobile money with other applications such as banks, paying of school fees, renewal of driving licences and almost all government payments, paying of taxes, buying of goods etc. So what maturity are you talking about? Are you mad?
We also pioneered interoperability.

In Kenya, Safaricom dominates mobile money so interoperability is not high. You however note that interoperability is meaningless when it comes to determining the sophistication and advancement of mobile money. It is more like saying you have a better house than me because the color of your house is blue. See now? It's only somebody with no know-how who'll make such claims. No wonder you guys are so enthralled by the rantings of geza Uloe - a semi illiterate man who can't divide 4.2 trillion by 100 and get the correct answer.
 
We Need the amount transaccted we dont need may domant accunt an u r saying more competitive that is nonses three large MONS vs one large MNOs stiil beats you u r still bihind
