Before 2016 comes to an end, the apps on your smartphone may be paying for your wireless data usage. Verizon announced on Tuesday that it will start testing a program where companies can pay to sponsor a user’s data (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3013796/internet/verizon-to-test-toll-free-sponsored-data-that-doesnt-count-against-caps.html). Those sponsorships mean Verizon subscribers can use an app or certain parts of an app without that usage counting against their data cap.</p><p>
The new program is called FreeBee Data 360 and currently comes in two flavors. FreeBee Data 360 lets a content provider, such as a news service, sponsor some or all of the mobile data a subscriber uses to access that content. The sponsorship can include a website, app, or both, with content providers paying by the gigabyte.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3024235/mobile/verizons-freebee-data-360-program-lets-companies-pay-for-your-mobile-internet-usage.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
