Prepay-Postpay Hybrid Solutions

December 2005 (49 pages)
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of operators introducing 'hybrid' style services combining the convenience of contract plans and cost control benefits of prepay plans. In this report we explore the features, benefits and success of hybrid plans from 9 operators across a diverse range of North American, European and African markets. We examine how hybrid services are positioned against conventional prepay and post-pay services and identify the segments most aggressively targeted by operators with prepay/postpay hybrid offers. Finally we discuss how these plans may be enhanced to maximise their market impact.

Price: EUR 2,500.00 / GBP 2,000.00
