Early-mover startups with innovative ideas have managed to become large enterprises. But one of the phenomena of the technology era is technology retirement. In other words, as these new technologies come up, individuals and companies have to decide if they want to keep using their older technologies or migrate to new technologies. After all, switching is not always the best option.
Many modern analysts have predicted quite some time ago that global long distance calling cards would become extinct. They argued that cellular phones would take the place of prepaid calling cards.
