Description

This IDC study examines U.S. wireless subscribers and revenue, specifically for the U.S. wireless prepaid subscription market. The U.S. wireless market has entered its mature phase. Market penetration has reached saturation levels, and subscriber growth is slowing. IDC is looking at the increase in prepaid usage among wireless subscribers.

"Wireless subscribers are becoming more aware of their options and looking at a prepaid cell phone as a way to save money on their monthly bill," says Richard Murphy, research analyst, Wireless and Mobile Communications. "The consumer is becoming savvier. Prepaid services allow consumers to pay for exactly what they need and no longer pay for services they are not using."
