Verizon has made several attempts at unlocking the carrier data including the short-lived header injection [1]. Phone data is the holy grail of data (location, voice conversations, web browsing, apps, address, and potentially purchase history in the future) etc. Lets see if they have a winner this time
We need to get developers to stop supporting ad tech. The stigma of working in ad tech needs to result in enough stink on one's employment history that it's not worth the hassle.
I understand that the logic goes that people will avoid going into advertising in the first place if it limits their employment choices, but that assumes there isn't enough work to stay in advertising. If advertising is already a profitable career path, switching industries later is not a significant consideration now, and your proposal actually makes it easier for advertisers to hold onto talent.
We should be encouraging people to get out of advertising, not stigmatizing it.
Ad tech really needs to go.
