TEHRAN, October 17 -Sprint Corp (S.N) has sold the mobile data and advertising company it created in 2012 to InMobi, which provides technology for marketers, in an all-stock deal, the companies said on Wednesday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Sprint Corp (S.N) has sold the mobile data and advertising company it created in 2012 to InMobi, which provides technology for marketers, in an all-stock deal, the companies said on Wednesday.
The fourth-largest U.S. wireless carrier by subscribers is selling the company called Pinsight Media as it awaits regulatory approval to sell itself to larger rival T-Mobile US Inc (TMUS.O). The value of the Pinsight deal was not disclosed.
Pinsight uses data from wireless carriers to help companies better target ads on smartphones to the right audiences. That use of data was one major reason for AT&T Inc’s (T.N) acquisition of media company Time Warner, which closed in June.
Pinsight will continue to work with Sprint after the deal, said Rob Roy, Sprint’s chief digital officer, in a statement.
Sprint’s sale of Pinsight comes as mobile advertising in the United States is expected to surpass television ad spending by more than $6 billion this year, according to eMarketer. The research firm estimates the gap will widen even more by 2022, with mobile spending at $141 billion compared to $68 billion on TV.
