Review U.S. Prepaid Phone Card 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Risks and Opportunities Post-Acquisition of AT&T and MCI / IDC Research:

This IDC study analyzes the U. S. prepaid phone card market by sizing the complete prepaid revenue opportunity today and growth potential in the next five years. Using primary IDC research and secondary market data, this study provides key industry metrics detailing prepaid card penetration, usage, consumer demand characteristics, service provider market share, and growth trends. This study also analyzes competitive strategies of leading prepaid phone card providers. "After a decade of rapid market expansion, future growth in the U. S. prepaid phone card market can no longer be sustained by selling ever more cheap prepaid phone cards. SBC's and Verizon's respective acquisitions of AT&T and MCI during the first quarter of 2005 will further shake up competition in the prepaid phone card market. To survive, service providers must learn how to extend existing consumer relationships to gain a bigger share of the consumer prepaid budget. [+]

This IDC study examines the growing home networking market in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region.
