Global Mobile Prepaid Strategies and Forecasts to 2014

Prepaid is the indisputable payment mechanism of choice for the majority of the world’s mobile subscribers and its influence is increasing: prepaid subscriptions claimed 72% of all global subscriptions in 2Q09 and 78% of all net additions. As the emerging markets maintain significant double-digit growth for another year and disastrous economic conditions force many customers in all regions to seek to control their spending, prepaid will be a central pillar of successful operator strategy for some time to come.Click here

Future Mobile Operator Pricing: Strategies for Competitive Markets

Beyond Triple Play: Value added services for broadband operators

Beyond Triple Play assess the different opportunities broadband operators have in offering services beyond the core triple play offer of telephone, TV and broadband. While these remain core parts of an operator’s business, they are not without their problems.

Efforts to compete in TV have also been hampered, as many operators struggle to acquire, package and manage content and compete with more experienced players. Operators are therefore turning their attention to value-added services. In the past offerings were limited to features such as webmail, internet security and webpage space; add-ons offered almost as an afterthought, backed by little strategic thinking and offering limited value to the consumer.Click here

Operators will understand the business and technical implications of open APIs and how this will affect their current and future business.
