As an outcome from the virtual forum on mobile phones by FAO – where I experienced a great exchange with mobile phone practitioners worldwide – I was interviewed by the e-agriculture.org forum. During the interview, I tried to summarize my observations and discussions around mobile phones for development from the recent months.

E-Money – Mobile Money – Mobile Banking – What’s the Difference?
Submitted by PSD Blog on Wed, 01/21/2009 - 17:00.
When I speak at conferences or with people interested in the use of mobile phones for financial service delivery, I am often asked what is the difference between e-money, mobile money, mobile banking, and a range of other terms that are often used wily-nily in reference to this emerging business opportunity. It is a good question. People are confused. And rightfully so.
