    T-Mobile is ramping up its efforts to cash in on the lucrative
    advertising business. The carrier has officially launched its new "App Insights" program after more than a year in beta. App Insights allows
    marketers to buy user data directly from T-Mobile, with a particular
    emphasis on data showing which apps you have on your phone and which
    apps you regularly use.

    News of the official launch of T-Mobiles App Insights program was
    first reported by Ad Exchanger after an interview with Jess Zhu, the
    carriers head of advertising products and development. Essentially,
    App Insights is a new app-based analytics platform that allows
    marketers to track, segment and target T-Mobile wireless subscribers
    based on the apps they have installed on their phone and their
    engagement patterns.
