Metro PCS only added 317,000 customers in the 4th quarter (2009), down 39 percent from the year-ago period.
From Pali Research: Prepaid represents only 20% of the industry subscribers and we expect that to grow to 23% of subscribers by the end of 2011. The question remains whether Boost grew the pre-paid market or merely took existing market share that is in the process of purging out of Metro and Leap. We believe it’s the latter and while new pricing and competitors could sustain industry pre-paid gross additions in the near term, we believe the underlying trend is in decline.
