Along the Mexican border, the prepay market (in fact the entire economy!) is heavily Hispanic. The first US prepay to allow roaming in Mexico will do very well, there are hundreds of thousands of people who cross back and forth frequently or even daily (including many Americans who live in Mexico south of San Diego).

The Mexican prepaids have some limited roaming in the US, and even provide a list of places in the US where you can buy recharge cards, so the cross-border demand is there.
