Large companies have an advantage in using computers to serve large portfolios of mortgage and credit card loans, and also have access to cheaper sources of funds, but small companies can compete effectively in the cash lending or sales finance segments, where personal contact is more important. Consumer Finance Industry Forecast The output of US credit cards and finance companies, which includes consumer finance, is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 1% between 2008 and 2013.

AT&T’s Business Challenges

CRITICAL ISSUES

Industry Depends Highly on Regulatory Decisions - The FCC regulates the interstate activities of telecom providers, including pricing and operations, while state public utility commissions (PUCs) regulate similar matters at the state level. Regulations affect most strategic decisions of telecom companies. Although the industry is moving toward deregulation and greater competition, pricing is likely to remain regulated. Demand Affected by Economic Growth - Demand for telecom services is affected by economic conditions, mainly because business customers provide a large portion of industry revenue. Consumers are also income-sensitive to the expensive new services telecom and cable providers offer. As a result, large telecom and cable companies had relatively flat revenue during the late 2000s recession.
