Don't forget that 2 billion people do not even have access to electricity, let alone Internet..

More people have access to the Internet via cell phones worldwide than have access to a flush toilet.  Access to electricity is not a pre-requisite. 

Correct. But all those cell phones need to be charged somehow.

Stop and think, young man.  5 volts at half an amp, or 2.5 watts.  A standard bike headlight is about 3 watts, whatever shall we do???

Of course there are already existing infrastructure for charging phones, as some people have made a business out of using a solar panel to charge phones for others.

And using a cell phone to send money isn't even a foreign concept to Africans as much as it is to Americans...

Therefore, you're argument is invalid.
