The Fraser University has a prepaid study centre!

I had been doing some reading on prepaid stuff lately by doing different search on Google and I find this exciting site about a research centre about prepaid communication.

The study centre is name the Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technology (CPROST) and belongs to the Fraser University in British-Columbia. The Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technology conduct a study concerning privacy and prepaid mobile phone. Let’s say prepaid is being the main topic here! Good news: if you are Canadian and have any concern regarding your prepaid service, you can share your view to the Centre members.

The Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technology Web site is quite interesting. I learn that there are 3.2 million subscribers of prepaid phone…in Canada only! Now I understand why I am so busy days after days at work! I actually deal with prepaid customers from Monday to Friday, every weeks of the year. And I have no time to breathe between calls, most of the time! Other detail that I learn by reading the CPROST Web page: the pay-as-you-go business had been introduced in the 1990s.

Prepaid services are interesting and it does truly deserve its own study centre.

Prepaid refers to services paid for in advance. Examples include tolls, pay as you go cell phones, and stored-value cards such as gift cards and preloaded credit cards. Prepaid accounts are assets, and they are increased by debiting the account(s).
