Prepaid services are among today’s fastest growing industries. Prepaid calling card revenues are approximately $3 billion and relatively stable, but prepaid wireless revenues are at the $10 billion mark, projected by Atlantic-ACM to top $20 billion by 2009. Debit and gift cards comprise over $140 billion, growing at double-digit rates according to the Pelorus Group. Those numbers continue to climb each and every year. The opportunities are nearly endless with prepaid telecom, POS, debit cards, gift cards, smart cards and more.  These prepaid innovations leave a wealth of uncharted territory and untapped revenue for savvy service providers, distributors and retailers.

The Prepaid Press was designed to meet the needs of this dynamic industry, using a tabloid newspaper format to allow rapid dissemination of breaking news and timely information. Magazines typically have a three month production cycle, several lifetimes in an industry where developments occur in days, not months. The Prepaid Press has the shortest publication cycle in the industry, less than a week. This lightning fast turnaround, combined with an editorial commitment to thorough and accurate coverage of all the news has made The Prepaid Press an essential tool for the prepaid services industry.
