Report Summary:

Sponsored data offers a way for third parties to pay a mobile operator for data access that is provided to end-users for free in exchange for engagement with the users. A year after AT&T launched its Sponsored Data program at CES in January 2014, critics claim the program has failed to succeed and that sponsored data as a business model will not take off. Strategy Analytics reviews a range of challenges and opportunities for sponsored data, provides examples of launches to date around the globe with a wide range of use cases and sponsors, discusses leading solutions providers, and offers a set of best practices and recommendations for mobile operators and their sponsor partners to consider as the market for sponsored data gains more traction in 2015. Key players included in this report include AT&T, Airtel, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Telefonica, Telenor, Telkomsel, TIM Brasil, Vodafone, Facebook’s Internet.org, Millicom, Aquto, AsiaInfo, DataMi, Opera Software and Syntonic.
