Uber, by comparison:
'Trips during the quarter grew 21% YoY to 2.8 billion, or approximately 30 million trips per day on average.'
That would be about 350 payments per second if load was evenly distributed.
This is a feature, not a bug. With the setup of "two 1 way streets feed into a scramble", crossing safely on a "do not walk" is trivial, with only a single direction to look for many of the most common crossings.
Use that as an example, get it inserted into the next big trade agreement as a mandatory thing.
Amazon allows ACH / direct debit payment methods with more longevity than a credit card.
Do you live in a crossword puzzle? That's the only spot I see "half fortnight" instead of week.
What does a typical callout look like?
Can you give an example of what this would look like?

One where you can figure out exactly what you are getting if you want. It shows you enough detail about the "mystery hotel" (Example: Free Parking, Gym, At least 3 star, Rating of 8+ out of 10, at least 800 ratings) that quickly referring to the search results from the area makes it clear which is which. Love it and been using for years.
One where it's "One of these 3 specific hotels". I hate this one for the same reason as you because you're rolling the dice, the hotels can be very different and in different neighborhoods.

Yes you can. You can typically deposit without fees at airtime resellers and cell network retail outlets. Faster and cheaper than traveling to a bank branch.
Fees to cash out/send/receive money are as low as 0.22%.
Could I go without a cellphone? Absolutely. I could go to a landline. But thats not the point here.
This article and my question were more about the phone's ability to replace a credit/debit card and bank account, not a landline.
To call someone over a fair price.... but you have to know those people in the first place... If you were buying a car, who would you call to compare prices?
You call your family members, previous buyers, or middlemen in cities to get a rough sense of the market price. There are startups that offer crop price data via SMS.

[Women invest more in the health and well-being of their families — as much as 10 times more] ... That sounds like a gender based stereotype.
Clicking through on the links in the NYT article went to this article in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/345/6202/1273.full.pdf) which cites the following four sources for those statistics:

Per this article, only 20% of people in Bangladesh have traditional bank accounts. Yet 33 percent of Bangladeshi men have used mobile money. Mobile money has replaced the bank account.
Are there legitimate needs for a cellphone in their life?
Do you have legitimate needs for a cellphone in your life? For a wallet, credit and debit cards?
Mobile money transfers are used in place of card processing, for loans and gifts. SMS and mobile money transfers have replaced cash remittances or money transfer services from cities to rural areas. You can't access these services without a cell phone.
Lastly, how in the world is a phone going to get them out of poverty? I can understand if it was like a suit, where it gives a person a better position to obtain a job. However, I would think that a library would be better suited to get them out of the position where they're at.
A cellular phone will help someone learn a fair price for their crop, good, or service, and allow them to contact buyers. This will do more for their income than a suit. But access to cell phones and mobile money doesn't just benefit people by increasing income. Giving women the ability to make purchases has listed benefits in the article:
"Women spend money differently from men. They tend to invest more in the health and well-being of their families — as much as 10 times more. They give priority to spending on health care, nutritious food and education. A child born in a household where the mother controls the family budget is 20 percent more likely to survive — and much more likely to thrive."
But as this article shows, this is inane. The amount of water wasted by customers of all restaurants in California is probably less than the water used to grow a few acres of almonds.
