The OP has made some huge assumptions here but MPESA, even with all its social and economic benefits, only got to where it is today because of Vodafone's deep pockets.Don't really see a similar Bitcoin champion emerging in these parts.

I'd say MPESA met a great need, and maintained it's lead ahead of competitors because of network externalities. Speaking from first-hand experience.

cool.I made one that streams from Google Drive on top of App Engine using Backbone. http://tunebanda.com

Nice. Do you pay for Google Drive? My music collection is too large to store in the cloud affordably. But this looks cool, I'm uploading an album to my (previously unused) Drive to try it out.

Edit: Hmm, seems glitchy. The music is playing but tags won't load and a random textbox is obscuring part of the UI. http://i.imgur.com/sJwd2.png

No I don't.I'm using the Drive API https://developers.google.com/drive/ which is free.I'm still very much testing it out but there's a lag in retrieving tags.I'm curious though how it works for you now?
