I don't think it is Safaricom's job to help its competitors remain competitive. I also think the platform should be opened to other providers ie banks, e-commerce merchants etc but not necessarily other mobile networks. There should be a common protocol used to interface between the various networks but this is a government policy issue not something vodafone should do as a private firm.

Of course there are other reasons to stick with Safaricom like true
mobile broadband since 2005/6 (not sure when).
Methinks they are the more dynamic operator at least with respect to
adopting and rolling out improvements to mobile.
You have a valid point on broadband on the go but when it comes to cash and locking someone up on a given platform is just wrong. Imagine if I cannot pay you via cheque just cause your bank and my bank are not interlinked. I think what CBK needs to have a "clearing house" like banks do and for mobile money it can be real time. If safaricom really has superior products on the mobile front let them let us receive cash from yucash, airtel and others money and reflect as m-pesa balance or M-pesa to the others. Its about time CBK and CCK acted to enhance competition.
