In terms of mobile payments, customers can already setup their prepaid debit cards to their prepaid phones. The trick is making this process easier, and quite simply, promoting it thru education and incentives. But be cautious of maintaining relationships with key retailers and details who help with acquisition and make most of their money from replenishment. Too much debit card usage and they'll start to lose business. There are ways to cut then into it, but that's a discussion for another day ;-). I really believe that beyond financial services and the like, the real untapped opportunity for prepaid is to take on postpaid. Consider that aside from large phone subsidies afforded by long contracts, prepaid value is so good now that it rivals that of postpaid. The postpaid carrier than launches a targeted strategy in this arena is bound to capture massive growth...in my opinion.
