I think that is a mute/irrelevant point. It's all about timing.. all this would not have been possible... a year ago, even for Econet. So the fact that CABS has been around for years does not mean much. If you isolate the "banking" part of it, then you loose the big picture, a lot more facilitators (policy, 3G/4G, prices etc) all have to be in place for this to be a viable route for... anyone. Now the climate is right... and Econet is strategically positioned.. good for them. So his statement "They have been there for decades, and never did anything to benefit the masses" is really a cheap unwarranted jab. On the other hand Econet is right to be cautious and purposeful in dealing with the banks as this is very sensitive infor they will be accessing I just hope it is not putting up excuses to deliberately frustrate the banks
