The growing comfort with digital payments post-COVID has made this one of the most promising growth areas within the U.S. mobile value added services industry.
In the U.S., mobile advertising continues to surge, driven by the shift of media consumption to smartphones and the growing effectiveness of AI-driven personalization.
