Overview
In short order, the mobile phone market, and with it prepaid mobile plans, have gone from simple and inexpensive voice connectivity to an emerging player as the primary path to deliver internet capabilities worldwide. Currently, the prepaid market offers a steady but varying market presence worldwide, with developed countries using prepaid to augment postpaid subscriptions and developing nations utilizing prepaid as the primary source of accessibility.
The advent of high-speed 5G networks will enable a market shift from voice and data connectivity through mobile devices to a full array of internet services, free from the built-in infrastructure of wired services. This change is starting slowly, adding to incremental market growth in the short term, but will likely explode in the next decade, allowing for significant scale expansion of prepaid options to service a more comprehensive array of potential consumer use.
