“…The state of the South African telecommunications sector's performance is described as poor and inefficient (Bagdadioglu & Cetinkaya, 2010;ITU, 2010b;Gillwald, 2005). Increased competition induction is argued as a vital catalyst to increase performance and competition in the South African telecommunications sector (Levin & Schmidt, 2010 (DOC, 2010:10).…”

The fast pace of technological advancements is regarded as one of the global drivers of change. In the telecommunications sector in South Africa, these technological advancements as well as sector transformation pose competitiveness challenges to entrepreneurs. This paper reports an empirical study performed to contribute to the promotion of entrepreneurial competitiveness within the telecommunications sector of the South African economy. From the empirical study, significant relationships proved to exist between the intervening- and independent variables and the dependent variable of this study, namely Perceived Entrepreneurial Competitiveness. The independent variable Infrastructural Change positively influenced both the intervening variable Entrepreneurial Orientation and dependent variable Perceived Entrepreneurial Competitiveness. In the same manner, the independent variables of Regulatory Alignment and Entrepreneurial Mindset did positively influenced Perceived Entrepreneurial Competitiveness within thisstudy. The study found that entrepreneurs can position their businesses more competitively if the factors that impact directly or indirectly on Entrepreneurial Competitiveness in the South African Telecommunications sector are taken in consideration.

“…For now all three operators Avea, Turkcell and Vodafone have both various pre-paid and post-paid tariffs/packages. Graph 2 shows the development of the pre-paid and post-paid subscribers between 3 See Atiyas and Doğan (2007), Bagdadioglu and Cetinkaya (2010) and Karacuka (2011) As it is clear from Graph 2, the ratio of the post-paid subscriptions started to increase in recent years. Although as of the end of 2011 post-paid subscribers constitute just 35% of the total mobile users, it could be asserted that recent trends in support of the share of the post-paid subscription may continue to increase as a result of the rigorous marketing strategy of the operators in favour of the post-paid subscription as mentioned earlier.…”

This paper investigates the determinants of prepaid and post-paid mobile phone subscriptions in Turkey. The binary logit analysis is employed to explore the relationship between the subscribers' characteristics and their subscription type i.e. prepaid or post-paid. The data used in the analysis relies on a survey carried out during 2009-Q3. The results indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between the subscription type choice and the dependent variables. It is found that the choices of the other members living in the respondents' household have significant effect on the decisions of the subscribers. The results also show that the subscribers who use their phones mainly for mobile calls and for surfing on internet are more likely to have a post-paid subscription while the prepaid users usually use their phones for short messages and for playing games on their mobile phones.
