Key findings from the report:

said: "Wearables, connected car and IoT – these device categories will definitely benefit from new thinking on how data connectivity is offered. Sponsors can be the device makers or other brands, and free data use can even be embedded in specific aps for the devices. People will not have to worry about setting up a wireless account for each new device, and brands like insurance companies, services, and sports drinks will have a new way to reach their target customers."

, commented: "Operators are starting small to prove the value of sponsored data use cases for their particular market and find brands with interest. Momentum will build in 2015 as operators and sponsors test what works best and build their strategies for sponsored data. For operators, this needs to be part of a broader move to upgrade systems to support more flexible, agile, and scalable new business models with partners in over-the-top (OTT) services and the broader ecosystem as mobility becomes more central to consumers and enterprises alike."
