New Session Added to the 2009 ANPI Annual Meeting Agenda

Surviving the Recession
Monday, May 4 • 1:00–1:45 PM

Realizing consumer budgets are under stress as more people lose their jobs and more homes face foreclosure, telecom service providers are shifting their pricing and marketing strategies. But are lower prices enough to retain customers?

This is a critical issue for telecom companies in particular, since they already face accelerating access line loss and declining DSL sales. Poor performance during the recession could risk losing ties to some households altogether and make for a much bleaker future.

How can a telco survive the recession and even consider strengthening market position and consumer loyalty? During this session Telephony’s Editor-in-Chief Carol Wilson will present research shared during their 5-part series.

Speaker: Carol Wilson
