For a retard maybe, “boku” in french sounds like “beaucoup” which means “many” or “plenty”.

It’s like sudoku, french people don’t say “sudocul” but “sudocoup”.

Anyway, it’s a great name.

This is a great idea there are two problems for the publisher, Boku will take between 25-45% of the fees. Makes paypal look pretty good at 2.9%.

Second is they pay you when they receive funds from the provider which they say takes 60-90 days on average.

Fix those two major issues and this will do well IMO.

5 babies are born every second worldwide, but 30 new mobile phones are subscribed to every second.

There are 2,000 times as many mobile phones as ATMs in the world.

The ubiquitous mobile phone offers a convenient, quick, secure, low cost channel to initiate and receive money transfers. With cross border remittances, domestic money transfers, airtime remittance, utility bill payment, payroll and microfinance loan repayments, the potential value of new revenues and volume of new, loyal customers for MNOs and banks is phenomenal.

Reaching the unbanked

World Bank estimates indicate that reducing remittance commission charges by 2-5% could increase the flow of formal remittances by 50-70%. Therefore TELFUND can have a transformational effect on developing economies. Mobile Money also enables financial services and money transfers – often initiated by urban and international immigrants – to reach poor people in rural areas. Critically, Mobile Money offers the first commercially viable opportunity to reach the unbanked with low cost, no-frills financial services.

Easy payment method is one of the key reasons of mobile social networks successful monetization. If this method is applied to traditional (web-based) social networks, why knows, maybe they will be finally effectively monetized.
