Try a Mobile Phone | NextBillion.ne t - Development Through Enterprise: Do people suddenly start spending more money on a product to the detriment of other goods, because they now have better access to it?

- AMPU (Average Margin Per User) Market Analysis, Data & Figures: For example, prepay customers have been widely assumed as unprofitable. Indeed, NTT DoCoMo lists "low rate of prepaid customers" ; as one of its advantages in the Japanese market. Prepaid customers may be low ARPU. However, they may generate higher revenue per minute than do post-pay customers. In addition, they require no handset subsidies, no billing and collection costs, and produce minimal bad debt. For these reasons, they can generate positive AMPU and with that, profits. Second, even though data services will raise revenues, the full costs of delivering data may exceed such revenues. If so, AMPU will be negative.
